Becky’s father Lynn and I worked together at ODOT for 20 years or so. Becky was one of my summer worker inspectors for a year or so in the mid-1980’s. She brightened up our workdays on the projects.
May God bless you all and may he help all of us in dealing with our losses as we continue on our journeys.
Judy and family: my deepest sympathy for your loss of Becky. May your memories of your good times live on in your heart. 💔🙏✝️🙏
My most heartfelt condolences to Andrew, Erin, and Alex and to Becky’s dear Mom Judy. I worked with Becky off and on over so many years at the library, from when she first started there over 30 years ago. I finally found a kindred spirit at a place that felt a little too staid and formal at the time. She brought such a sweetness and joy to the workplace. Her sense of humor matched mine to where I can say that she is one of only two people who could always make me laugh. I still have cards from her saved from decades ago because I so loved the humorous comments she would include. Everyone who knew her knows just how much she loved and cherished her family and how they were first and foremost in her life. She was going through a lot in the last few years, and I hope the peace she found extends to her dear family as they grieve her physical absence on this side. Her spirit is with us now and forever.
Andrew, our hearts ache for you and your family. Becky always had a vert sweet and gentle spirit. Our deepest sympathies.
Andrew, Erin & Alex – I am so sorry to hear about Becky, please know we are thinking of you all during this most difficult time.
Prayers to you all –
