Born March 4, 1920, Stricker was baptized in 1929 at St. Luke's Church in Salisbury, North Carolina and confirmed December 31, 1933.

She attended Hunter College in New York City and began her career as a sales clerk at F. W. Woolworth from 1938-1941. She worked in a clerical position at the American Geographical Society from 1941-1944; and then became an employee of the Ministers and Missionaries Benefit Board through 1948. She worked as a file and record clerk at the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society from 1948-1952.

In June 1952, she became a missionary of the Episcopal Church in Alaska where she remained until the end of 1955 when she was forced to leave due to health reasons. She accepted a clerical position with the National Council of the Protestant Episcopal Church that same year.

Stricker served in various capacities at the National Council, and later the Episcopal Church Center, for the balance of her career. She was employed by the Bible and Common Prayer Book Society in the mid-1960s, and later became its director and assistant secretary/treasurer in which capacity she remained until her retirement in 2003. 

She moved to the Mary Manning Walsh Nursing Home where she lived with her always-positive attitude toward life.
