Valerie Smith welcomed Amber into this world on March 9th 1980. Shortly after she was placed into the arms of Theresa and Michael Westrick. On February 22, 2003 Amber married her true love, Eric Becker. They spent 20 wonderful years of wedded bliss together. Together they had two beautiful children who she adored and cherished. She was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church and enjoyed serving as a Teacher’s Aide throughout her career with Northeastern Local Schools. Amber loved snow, Christmas, and anything mint chocolate chip. She also enjoyed gardening and creating floral arrangements as well as supporting the Tinora Rams at sporting events, showing her commitment to her family and community. Her honesty and truthfulness were two things you could always rely on and will be forever missed. Amber departed this earth as the sun rose on August 27th, but not without the love of the Lord and surrounded by family.
