Carol and family. May God bless you at this time. Whenever I saw Becky she always had a smile. My prayers are with your family.
I have vivid memories of Becky in my Whitehall High School Biology class. All these years later I recall her teaching us about PKU and how she managed this genetic condition. After holding the class spellbound I told her that she would be a great teacher or healthcare worker. I am so glad to hear of her work as a CNA!
To all her family and friends, know that Becky has a special place in my heart.

Carol we were very sad to hear of Becky’s passing. I remember the many times she watched our children for us. She was a very special young lady.
We were so sad to hear about Becky’s sudden death. Just spent some with you Mom & Aunt Shirley. You will be missed.

I’m so saddened to hear of Becky’s passing. Becky was very kind and forgiving. I was in home room all through high school with Becky and started every day of school with her. I hope her family and loved ones know they are all in our prayers. So deeply sorry for your loss, as we all have lost an amazing person.
Becky,
I will always remember your birthday party and Michael Jackson’s song Thriller playing which I think of you until this day. I heard it today when a car went by where I work blaring it and it made me smile. Watch down on us your class of 89 and we will all see you again someday ❤️
So sorry for the loss, this is a trying time for all of us – be at peace.
