The memento no doubt most prized by Mrs. Becker was a letter from Queen Victoria, signed by her own hand and accompanied, it was said, by a gift of fifty pounds. In 1860, the Prince of Wales afterwards King Edward VII, while visiting Long Point on a duck hunting expedition, made Mrs. Becker a further gift. The heroine also received a congratulatory letter from Lord Aberdeen, then Governor-General of Canada.

Some years later the Royal Humane Society presented her with a bronze medal in belated recognition of her daring exploit. On another occasion she was guest of honour at a large public gathering in the county town of Simcoe sponsored by Mr. Harvey S. Falls, at which tribute was paid to the heroine of Long Point.

A short time after her rescue of the 'Conductor's crew, Abigail Becker was offered a substantial sum of money to tour America with a show company, but she politely declined, with this comment: "I have always been poor, but have never wanted for anything; always have had plenty to eat and to wear; and indeed I valued my good name too highly to take part in an exhibition of that kind."

During her lifetime Abigail Becker saved the lives of four other persons besides the Conductor crew. On one occasion during her stay at the Point an iron-laden vessel was wrecked near the west-end lighthouse. The crew of six men escaped to shore, only to find that the keeper had gone for the winter to the mainland. Setting out in search of aid, they finally reached the Becker cabin. But two of their number had fallen by the wayside during their trek. Abigail Becker at once went after them and brought them to her cabin, thus no doubt saving their lives.
