Thousands of patients’ lives were made better having been touched by this caring, efficient, devoted Registered Nurse. Becky was in a class of her own. Her life was enhanced by her many wonderful crafts and projects, but most importantly by her family, especially her children and grandchildren. She loved life and her many great friends.

She loved her nieces and nephews, their spouses and children and many other family members. She was greeted in Heaven by a baby lost before birth and other beloved family members gone before her.

The celebration of Becky’s life will begin at 11:00 am on Saturday, October 28, 2017, at the First Southern Baptist Church in Garden City and will last throughout eternity. There will be no viewing and a family burial will be held next summer when the flowers are in bloom.
