Becky was an active member of Heartland Ministries Church and was strong in her faith. She loved reading her Bible, starting each day with devotions. Her family and friends meant the world to her. She especially loved spending time with grandkids and great grandkids. Becky would volunteer whenever needed, giving of her time to nursing homes, charities, Del Ra and voting polls. She loved flowers and working in her yard, puzzles and crosswords. A collector of treasures from travels and mementos from loved ones, she always had a camera in her hand.
