She was born August 5, 1926 in Cleveland OH to Andrew J. and Matilda E. Balazsik. They were proud of their Hungarian heritage as immigrants of the US. At the time of her death, Loretta was a resident of Inspirations Assisted Living in Tempe.
Loretta was a member of Mt. Carmel, Holy Spirit and St Benedict Catholic Churches. She was a Homemaker, Mother, Grandmother and great grandmother. She loved her friends and their children as her own as well.
She volunteered tirelessly for her church and MANY community organizations. She was proud to be a Navigator for Sky Harbor International Airport. She was a lifesaving platelet donor for United Blood Services. This earned her a place in their “Angels for Life” program.
She is directly survived by her daughter Anne Elizabeth Williams (Tim Williams beloved spouse) and 10 grandchildren, 2 Great-grandchildren. Pre-deceased by her husband William James Becka, her sons Kevin William and Rorie James Becka.
Service will be at St. Benedict Catholic Church, 11 am on November 18. Followed by interment at Queen of Heaven Cemetery at 12:30. We ask that in lieu of flowers you make a donation to Hospice of the Valley in her name.
