Becky Ann Kneer

Becky Ann Kneer of Stuart, Florida passed away peacefully surrounded by family on October 10th, 2026 at the age of 80. Born February 8th, 1946 in Champagne, Illinois to William and Betty Hoegsted. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, brother (Bill) and grandson.

She was a devoted wife to Richard Kneer whom she married December 19th 1964. She is survived by her five children: April Kneer Lyon (Timothy), Stefanie Kneer; Douglas Kneer (Erin); Heather Kneer Jolley (Darrel); Tammy Kneer Minyard (Scott); her 17 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren and counting and her best fur baby Stormy.

Becky worked as a seamstress from owning her own shop in Pompano, Florida to creating clothing for attractions at Disney Word. She loved to make outfits for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her talent and keen eye for detail never went unnoticed. She had a deep love for the arts that she shared with her mother and passed down generations.

You could usually find her on the dance floor, playing bingo, drawing/painting or reading a book, but mostly in her sewing room with Stormy. She spent many years traveling through all 50 states and loved living in Costa Rica and learning the culture/language.

Becky loved baking and making desserts for her family, especially her famous banana bread. Her sweet treats brought joy to those she loved and became cherished family favorites. The memories of her baking and the taste of Grandma’s banana bread will forever hold a special place in the hearts of her family.

Becky had many nicknames throughout her life, but her favorites were always “Mom” and “Grandma.” These names held a special place in her heart because her family was her greatest blessing. Becky was a one-of-a-kind woman who was equal parts sassy, sweet, and stubborn. She had a little sass that could keep you on your toes, a sweetness that made you feel loved, and a stubborn streak that meant she stood firm in what she believed. She had a personality that was impossible to forget and a spirit that was entirely her own. Above all, she loved her family in her own special way, and being Mom and Grandma was one of the greatest joys of her life. The love she gave, the laughter she brought, and the memories she created will live on in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to know and love her. Though she may no longer be with us, her sass, her strength, and her love will forever be a part of the family she cherished so dearly.
