Becky A. Meyer

She was dearly loved as a wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister, aunt, and a friend. She will be fondly remembered for her kindness, her wit, and her strength in the face of adversity.

Born in Fort Collins, Colorado on May 17th, 1947, she was the only daughter of Mary (Funk) and Howard Greenlee. Becky grew up out in the country in old Fort Collins with her younger brother, Mick. She and Mick were close, and she always had his back. No one was allowed to razz little Mick, other than Becky, of course. She had hoped for a baby sister but made do with occasionally dressing up her little brother, whether he liked it or not. In her youth, Becky enjoyed swimming, water skiing out on the lake, and was a junior lifeguard. Her folks owned Aggie Market, where she worked throughout junior high. Becky was ornery and known to get into trouble from time to time. She was into cars and had a '57 Chevy and, much to the surprise of her children and grandchildren, would participate in drag races. She attended Dunn Elementary, Lincoln Junior High, and graduated from Fort Collins High School in 1965.

On May 22, 1966, Becky married her high school sweetheart, Donald Wayne Meyer. Theirs was a love that was truly meant to be. Don lived out on a farm and Becky would pop over to visit. She was pretty, feisty, and fun to be around. Together they welcomed two wonderful children, Patrick and Jenny. They lived in San Diego for a time while Don was serving in the Navy, and settled in Loveland, where they raised their family.

Becky was a good mother who always supported her children in all that they did. When her children married, she welcomed their spouses into her home, her life, and her family, so grateful to see them start families of their own and to watch hers grow. She was so very proud of Patrick and Jenny. When Becky became a grandmother, she discovered a new kind of love and found out that unlike children, grandchildren could do no wrong. She was the most wonderful grandmother, loving and warm. She was supportive and accepting of her grandchildren in whatever they decided to do and whomever they chose to be. They will always cherish summers with grandma and getting ice cream cones, for no particular reason at all.

For more than 20 years, Becky worked as a materials handler for Hewlett Packard. She was not known for being idle. She was a hardworking, stubborn woman who seldom, if ever, took 'no' for an answer. She was strong in her convictions and fiercely independent. She lived for years with Multiple Sclerosis and endured a lot of pain, but she never complained and rarely even expressed her discomfort. She refused to let her illness define her life. She remained steadfast and continued to be ever-present in the lives of those she loved, regardless of what was going on with her own health. She always showed up. She was exceedingly loyal to her family.

Becky was known for the kindness which she extended to all who crossed her path, even when she preferred maybe they'd taken a different path altogether, far away from her. She had the biggest heart and was the kind of person who was always present in conversation. She was truly interested in what others had to say or what they were up to. She had a generous sense of humor, taking no offense, and even dropped a few good zingers of her own from time to time. She loved her little dogs very much, and her granddogs, too, as well as most other dogs in general. Don and Becky enjoyed many adventures on their motorcycle, including traveling all the way up to Canada. They also traveled across the US and Mexico in their fifth wheel camper and spent many happy Christmases in Mexico. They wintered in Arizona until the MS no longer allowed Becky to do so. More than anything, she simply enjoyed the quiet comfort of Don's company and the not-so-quiet company of her children, grandchildren, and close friends. She will truly be missed.

Becky's memory carries on in the hearts of all who knew her. She leaves behind the love her life and husband of more than 59 years, Don Meyer; her son Patrick Meyer and wife Nicole; her daughter Jenny Straight and husband Jay; her grandchildren, Jazmine Cain and husband Mac, and Isabella Meyer; and her great-grandchildren, Jaxson and McKenna Cain; as well as her brother, Michael "Mick" Greenlee and his wife Reba. She also touched the lives of close friends, who know who they are and what their friendship meant to her, and is further survived by numerous extended family members including in-laws, and nieces & nephews.

A Celebration of Becky's Life will be held on Saturday, September 27, 2025 at 11:00 AM at Resthaven Funeral Home & Memory Gardens in Fort Collins, Colorado. Please join the family for a luncheon to follow and a time of fellowship, laughter, & remembrance. Becky loved the color blue. Casual attire in shades of blue is encouraged in her memory.

Becky did not care much for flowers. Should you wish to honor her memory, donations to The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, the Humane Society, or any organization that supports the well-being of animals or Veterans would be most appropriate.
