Clara Rebecca "Becky" Oliva, age 93, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on August 3, 2026, at 1:11 AM in Moore, Oklahoma. She was married to her loving husband, Henry, with whom she shared 76 wonderful years of marriage.
Born in Prim, Oklahoma, Becky was the daughter of Karl Bain and Alta Kirkham Bain. After graduating from high school, she worked as a waitress for many years while attending Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC) to earn her Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) degree. She later worked in alcohol and drug rehabilitation before eventually retiring from Hillcrest Hospital.
Becky was a devout member of Hilltop Assembly of God. She lived life to the fullest and loved the Lord dearly. In her free time, she enjoyed crafting, playing bingo, bowling, going to the casino, traveling, and taking cruises.
Above all, Becky was deeply family-oriented. She was a fantastic cook whose pork chops, fried potatoes, and biscuits were everyone's favorite. Known for being an open door to anyone in need, she took in everybody—and their dogs, too. Becky always spoke her mind and was direct with people, but it always came from a place of pure love. She never judged anyone and was always there to offer unwavering support.
Becky is survived by her husband, Henry Oliva; her children, Chris Oliva Jr. and wife Gwen Oliva, Alan Oliva and wife DeAnna Oliva, and Tony Oliva and wife Dawn Oliva; 17 grandchildren; 28 great-grandchildren; and 20 great-great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, 5 siblings and most of their spouses, 3 grandchildren, and her dog, Spanky.
