Abigail Becker continued to live on her Walsingham farm until her death on March 21st, 1905, in her 74th year. Today her remains was lie buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Simcoe having been transferred there from their original resting-place in the village cemetery at Langton. The plot is surmounted by a suitably inscribed tombstone.
At one time a public fund was established by citizens of Norfolk County with a view to erecting a public monument in her honour. Ultimately, however, this money was devoted to the worthy purpose of furnishing a ward found Norfolk General Hospital, which is designated by, a tablet bearing her name. On September 10th, 1958, a plaque was unveiled at Port Rowan, commemorating �The Heroine of Long Point." It was erected by the Archaeological and Historic Sites Board of Ontario, thus constituting official government recognition of her heroic deed after the passing of more than a century. The heroine's name is also enshrined in the Abigail Becker Conservation Area, a ten-acre picnic ground established by the Big Creek Region Conservation Authority. A part of the former Walsingham farm owned by Mrs. Becker, this property contains a wonderful growth of dogwood, official floral emblem of Norfolk County. The bravery of Abigail Becker is chronicled in a memorable ballad from the pen of Amanda T. Jones, published in the Ontario high school reader of half a century ago. Many treasured mementoes of the heroine of Long Point are now in custody of the Norfolk Historical Society, having been generously donated by Miss Eleanor Rohrer, daughter of Abigail Becker. They include an excellent portrait of her mother, the old family rocking chair, the family Bible, and the gold medal which she received as a token of her feat. This medal was carried through the First Great War by Miss Rohrer, who as a true daughter of Abigail Becker gave notable service as a nurse on the battlefields of France. There is also a fine likeness of Abigail Becker, the work of Norfolk's eminent historical artist, W. Edgar Cantelon. All of these relics are in safekeeping at the Eva Brook Donly Museum of Art and Antiques in Simcoe.
Abigail Becker was one of the truest types of Canadian womanhood, a woman of outstanding Christian character and noble fortitude. Her generous benefactions endeared her to the community in which she lived. Throughout her lifetime she kept 'open house' for a host of friends both young and old who delighted in hearing her recount the thrilling stories of the early days. More than half a century has gone since she passed away, but her memory lives on, the memory not only of her heroic exploits at Long Point, but of one who battled long and successfully with the tribulations of pioneer life, who surmounted all difficulties, and who brought to splendid manhood and womanhood a healthy family of nineteen boys and girls.
