She served as a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Buenos Aires, Argentina from 1980-1981. Throughout her life she always took comfort in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Before her mission, Becky attended Brigham Young University for 3 years and later finished her B.A. online through Excelsior College. After her mission, she moved to the Bay Area to work where she would meet her future husband. Some of her greatest joys in life were serving in the home as a wife and mother. She was a skilled teacher and home schooled her sons, taking great pride in their successes. Becky had a love and talent for baking (her cinnamon rolls are famous!). On the rare occasion that she had a moment to herself, you would often find her relaxing with a good book in hand. The thing she looked forward to most was traveling. Her trips to England with Bob were some of her most cherished memories. We will miss her subtle and mischievous sense of humor. We will miss her intuition and always knowing the right things to say at the right time. We love you Bec. God be with you til we meet again.
