Ina Becking Hagan

February 23, 1935 - December 28, 2020

It is with deepest sadness that we announce the passing of Ina Hagan: a devoted sister, wife, mother and grandmother. Ina passed away Monday December 28th at her daughter’s home surrounded by her children and grandchildren. Ina was born in Wierden, Holland to John and Elizabeth (Roeloffzen) Becking on February 23rd, 1935. She immigrated with her family to Terre Haute, IN in 1953. On October 9th, 1965 she married Herbert Hagan Jr. and moved to Louisville. They were married for 37 years until Herbert’s death in 2002. She lived in Crestwood for over 30 years and spent the last 6 years at the Masonic Home in Louisville. Ina was most remembered and celebrated as a devout Catholic. Her life was dedicated to Christ and His Church. She raised her children to embrace these same values and left a lasting impression on all she met. Ina was a member of Immaculate Conception in LaGrange and Holy Spirit in St. Matthew’s. Her autobiography, Looking Back, captured her experience living under the Nazi occupation of Holland. Ina is survived by her brother, Jozef Becking of Terre Haute, children: Paul Hagan (Kristy) of Lake St. Louis, MO, Kristie Vanlandingham (Scott) of Louisville, and Joseph Hagan (Lisa) of Littleton, CO; her 11 grandchildren: Alex, John, Matthew, Elli, Patrick, Andrew and Sarah Hagan and Ethan, Leah, Luke and Will Vanlandingham; and many in-laws, nieces and nephews.
