Events
• Her obituary was published in the Cumberland Times-News on 8 Jun 2021. Emma G. (Jenkins) Becraft, of Lecanto, Fla., passed away Saturday, June 5, 2021, after a lengthy and hard fought battle with cancer.
Born May 12, 1936, in Cumberland, Emma was the daughter of the late Lawrence George Jenkins and Blanche Marie (LaRue) Jenkins. She was also preceded in death by two of her sons, Steve and Mike; as well as her sisters, Faye Arbogast and Bertha Nies; and brothers, George Jenkins, Joseph Clark, and Carl Jenkins.
Emma was a graduate of Allegany High School. She retired from the University of Maryland and lived most of her life in the Laurel-Burtonsville area. She enjoyed helping and watching her husband, son David, and their friends, build their dream log home in the mountains of West Virginia. When she and Ralph decided they were tired of the snow and cold, they moved to Florida. She spent her retirement there catching up on her reading and building miniature doll houses. She also enjoyed boating, sitting in the lanai, enjoying the pool, and vintage car shows with her husband.
Emma is survived by her loving husband, Ralph; her daughter, Karen Russo, of Laurel; and her son, David (Lisa) Becraft, of Romney, W.Va. She leaves behind her three grandsons, Michael Russo, Laurel, Jason Becraft and fiancé, Kate Campbell, of East Liberty, Ohio, and Justin Becraft, of Winchester, Va. Also surviving are her sister, Florence (John) Bridges; and brother, Louis (Jackie) Jenkins; as well as many nieces and nephews.
Services and interment will be held at a later date and are private.
