Always ready to lend a helping hand or take on an adventure, Becky was cheerful, compassionate, sincere, and loyal. To the end, she gave, providing life through her generous donation of organs. She enjoyed making memories with Wayne and her daughters through travel, the arts, and volunteering. Always the busy bee, Becky’s calendar stayed full helping with the church’s latest musical, book club, bible study, gym time, or dinner with friends and family. A proud member of the Pollard Theater Board, she volunteered with UMCOR, Methodist Missions, and Methodist Youth Foundation. Becky was a member of Pollard United Methodist Church, United Methodist Women, Chi Omega sorority, Symphony League of Tyler, and was a former majorette and Apache Belle.
