Please accept my deepest condolences and know I am praying for the family. Losing someone we love is never easy. Becky’s memory will live on through the impact she made in so many people’s lives.
Uncle Bo, Katie, Brad & LeeAnn, Matt & Rachel, and Family, Aunt Becky had such a spirit of service – always hosting so many family events. It hurts not to be able to be with all of you at this time.
The Christ Child Society of Fort Wayne will miss Becky tremendously. She was a bright light that shined all the time… always with a smile and positive energy with her Christ-like service attitude for the children and for our membership. Rest in peace, Becky… you have served well. Tina Bailey
Becky was a very special person. I cannot remember a time she did not have a smile. Her kindness to Gwen and myself will never be forgotten. Please be assured of our prayers.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God’s love embrace you and give you peace during this difficult time.
Katie and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Becky was an amazing woman who will be truly missed. Many prayers for you and your family.
I went to Marian College (now Marian University) with Becky for 4 years. She was a wonderful person and full of life. I was shocked to hear today that she had died. I also worked with her one summer (I think it was 1976) at Camp Christina in Brown County, Indiana. She was a hoot!! Everyone loved her. I am sad and I want to extend my sympathy to her family.

Becky warmly welcomed me into the family. She offered her home to me if my home in Fishers sold before the wedding and my move to Ft. Wayne. It turned out that I didn’t need it, but it was so nice to feel welcome. Thank you Becky! I already miss you.
