Becky was educated in the Massachusetts school system, graduating from Fairhaven High School in Fairhaven, MA. When Becky finished high school, she moved to a commune in Northern Maine where she learned to farm and cook. She then moved to central Maine where she worked as an aerobics/dance instructor. In 1984 she went to work as a corrections officer for the Maine State Dept. of Corrections, and met Michael Patrick Whelan. Together, they worked juvenile corrections, at times side by side and married on February 18, 1996. They relocated to Florida in the fall of 1999, where Becky worked as a C.O.S. Expeditor for Home Depot for 21 years. She enjoyed music and was very talented at playing the guitar and she absolutely adored all her dogs.
She is predeceased by a son, Leland Thorburn.
She is survived by her loving husband, Michael Whelan, she was my wife but more importantly my partner and best friend and I will always love and miss her; her mother, Gail Littlefield; a sister, Cheryl Matheson and two brothers, Brad Thorburn and David Hutchins.
