Patricia Ann Becker, nurse with a big heart
Whenever Patricia Ann Becker saw a need to help, she never hesitated to give it.
Whether she was aiding patients as a nurse or pursuing community causes as a civic leader, she gave her support to others.
"She was always there to help somebody, no matter what, " said her husband, Tom Becker. She was a "people person."
Mrs. Becker of Fort Mitchell died Sunday at University Hospital, Cincinnati. She was 62.
She loved being a registered nurse. She spent 35 years of her 42-year nursing career at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati.

Her tendency to help others led her to mentor younger nurses. She helped to train the entire unit of nurses on her floor.
"She was able to accomplish a great deal for the girls on her floor, " Becker said.
She would later work with groups promoting organ donation and breast cancer awareness.
In 1980, she and others decided Fort Mitchell needed a life squad of its own. At the time, Crescent Springs was providing life squad services to Fort Mitchell.
