Jan Becker was born November 11, 1950 in Moline, the daughter of George and Hazel (Hornbeck) Needham, the youngest of three kids. She is a 1969 graduate of Moline High School. Jan married Byron Becker of Bettendorf, on May 24, 1986.
Her career in health care began with Lutheran Hospital in OB, then Moline Public Hospital, which became United Medical Center and then Trinity Medical Center at the seventh street campus, getting the opportunity to meet and be loved by virtually every employee to have walked through the doors in the last 30 years.
An avid dog lover, Jan was a member of the Tri-City Kennel Club and the Quad City Dog Obedience Club.
Jan is survived by her husband Byron, her brother, Bill (Judy) Needham, sister Nancy (Steve Shetter) Gustafson, nephew Andrew (Tiffany) Gustafson, nieces Alisa Gustafson, Tammy (Jim) Uskavitch and her five furry children Mitzy, Nanny, Linus, Charlie Brown, and Mika. She was preceded in death by her parents, and beloved dogs Sparky and Chelsea.
Will she be missed by all who knew her? Duh! Big red truck!
