Becky loved to laugh and have a good time and always encouraged others to do the same. At family gatherings, it was a safe bet that you’d find her with her camera in tow, taking pictures of all the festivities. She also the loved scenery of Washington State and treasured the opportunity to take in the beauty of Mt. Rainier. Becky loved the challenge of a good puzzle, took much joy in admiring the garden, and most of all enjoyed spending time with her family.
