GREENSBORO — Rebecca "Becky" Frazier Rucker, 309 Kimberly Drive, died Friday, September 26, 2008, at Moses Cone Memorial Hospital.

A memorial service will be conducted at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, September 30, at the First Presbyterian Church, by the Reverend Dr. Sidney F. Batts.

Ever mindful of the less fortunate, she organized a Fun Day for the orphans and handicapped children of the city. The day was spent sightseeing, having lunch, and attending the circus. The participation was expanded to include nearby orphanages in the Central Piedmont, and over the course of two score years over 40,000 children enjoyed Fun Day. The program continues as a memorial to her.

She was preceded in death by her elder son, Walker Fry Rucker, Jr.

Mrs. Rucker is survived by her husband, Walker Fry Rucker, of the home; daughter, Ann Rucker Leonard and son-in-law, Robert Baxter Leonard; son, James Gray Rucker and daughter-in-law, Melinda Collins Rucker; three grandchildren, James Gray Rucker, Jr., Lindsay Meriwether Rucker, and Elizabeth Hall Rucker.

The family will receive friends at the home of her son and daughter-in-law at 2210 Granville Road.
