Many of you reading this may remember Becky for her cooking, it is something she was known for across this end of the state. But we, her children, grandchildren, family, and friends knew and will always remember Becky for being a devoted wife, loving and caring mother and grandmother, a very special friend, devout Christian, and someone who never quit no matter what obstacle was put in her way. She was a perpetual decorator, loved camping with family and friends, and never passed up a good book. We all love her fondly and will miss her dearly, but we know she is right where she needs to be… pain-free and home in Heaven with Bill.
