Becky enjoyed remodeling her old Victorian dream home that she worked on for many years. She was also very artistic, enjoyed crafting and loved to crochet, but her greatest joy came from the time spent with her grandchildren, family and friends.
Becky called herself ornery, but she was truly a kind happy soul that never complained.
