Obituary
Julia Faye Beker, of Palm Beach, Florida, formerly of Baltimore, Maryland, passed away on Tuesday, June 23rd, 2026, at the age of 92. She is survived by many loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Hyman Beker; dear siblings Hester Strom, Otto H. Strom, Robert Strom, and Mildred O'Neal.
Julia Faye Beker, affectionately known as "Aunt Faye," was born to Ruth and Otto Strom and grew up in Sparrows Point, Maryland. She graduated from Sparrows Point High School and went on to enjoy a successful 34-year career with Ma Bell, C&P Telephone, and Verizon. Julia thrived on new challenges and took great pride in mentoring and training new employees throughout her career.
On September 18, 1953, Julia married her beloved husband, Hyman Beker. Together they shared a lifetime of love and companionship. Julia was a devoted member of the Golden Lakes Temple in Palm Beach, Florida, where she served as Treasurer for many years. She was also a longtime member of the Holocaust Survivors of Palm Beaches.
Known for her sense of style and creativity, Julia loved sewing, knitting, painting, reading, and solving crossword puzzles. She especially enjoyed playing video games with her great-nieces and great-nephews and with neighborhood children in Ocean City, Maryland.
Julia's greatest joy was her beloved fur babies. Her devotion to Lizzie the dog and PK the cat became neighborhood legend in Baltimore, Maryland, where she prepaid the local ice cream man to stop by each day while she was at work so they could enjoy a special frozen treat.
Julia will be remembered for her kindness, generosity, creativity, and love for family, friends, and animals. May her memory be a blessing.
