Becky graduated from Vogue College of Cosmetology in Colorado Springs, Colorado and worked for several years as a hair stylist until she found her calling as a caregiver specializing in Alzheimer’s disease therapy. Becky spent her early years competitive roller skating and carving up Lake Mead with her slalom ski. Becky was an avid camper and kayaker, traveling the U.S. with her husband. Becky was known for being kindhearted and energetic and for having a wild spirit—she lit the room up when she entered. She was well known for her innovative and artistic craft projects.
