We loved Becky so much! We were able to care for Becky during her hospital visits and it was such a priviledge to get to know her. We took one of her painting classes and it was so fun to let her teach us how to paint and to hear all of her stories about France. Our heart and prayers go out to her family. Kelsey and Sheryl (Methodist Richardson)
Becky will always be remembered by her family here in Fairfield County, Ohio. We enjoyed many family dinners at Grandma and Grandpa Reefs home, and Easter dinners at Aunt Ruth and Uncle Paul's home in Lancaster. Time and miles was the great divider. I was six years old when she came into our family and remember that day so well. God bless you though out these difficult days. Cousin Marcia Shell

What a wonderful day I spent with Becky in the South of France just three short years ago. She was so full of life and such a wonderful art mentor. She was worried about my health as I am on oxygen 24/7, only to have her own battles take her so quickly. She will be missed by many. I am one of those many to mourn the loss of Becky but also to relish in the ways she touched my life.

I was Becky's Massage Therapist, so she had to tell me early on that she had cancer. But because she knew so many people, and was in contact with even more through her classes in art and exercise, she did not want most people to know the nature of her illness. She said that she did not want to be defined by the fact that she had cancer. She did not want every topic of conversation to be dominated by her illness, how she was doing and she did not want to be pitied – she just wanted to live her life for as long as she could. And that's what she did. All the time I knew her, before and after her illness was diagnosed, with all the people and events constantly surrounding her, she always remembered the details of my life and made sure I knew she cared. I am sure she did that with everyone she knew. Even with the diversity of her talents, with the success of her art and art classes, with the awards and professional accolades she was just……Becky. She took it all in stride that she was this amazing talent and never was arrogant or self centered, she was just……..Becky. I feel blessed that I knew her and that I was able share time with her. I will miss her laugh, her wit, her sense of humor, her honesty, her love of the people and places she loved, her down-to-earth practicality, and the way she did not mince words when she did not like something. She was inspiring, encouraging, genuine, thoughtful, courageous, and a truly, good person. She was just……..Becky. Roberta

I am at a lost for words! I have known Becky my whole life and she always lived life to the fullest. She was compassionate, caring and always told it like it was. Which is sometimes what we needed. She fought a courageous fight and even to the end would always want to know how you were doing instead and what she was going to do. With her husband at her side they always treated guests as if they were kings and queens. We are saddened and she will be missed but her spirit will live on through all the lives she has touched. God Bless you Becky and may your final journey be quick.
i work at the Richardson Senior Center. I'm so heartbroken to hear of Becky's passing. I commented to her once that I thought it was great that she taught both oil painting and exercise classes. She said that she was lucky that she was able to do the things that she enjoyed. I was lucky to have known her.
