Afterwards she then embarked on the role as wife to David that she cherished for 56 years, a mother to 4 children, a grandma to 11 grandchildren, and last but not least a great grandma to one great granddaughter. This brought so much laughter and most importantly joy. Becky worked at JLARC and the General Assembly for 20 years where she retired. Not only did she work a full-time job but was a wife of a Pastor. She made many friends over the years that turned into family she could count on. Church activities always kept her very busy. Above all, her greatest joy came from spending time with her family and making sure she was able to be at all her children and grandchildren’s special events. Some of her joys were spending time tanning on the beach, watching General Hospital, and tending to flowers in the yard. She loved her family and friends. Becky was a wonderful Wife, Mother, Grandma, and Great Grandma and will be leaving a legacy of love and dedication that will be felt forever.
