Becky worked for East Tennessee State University for 30 years in various departments, including History, Appalachian Studies and Social Work. She was a free spirit with a heart of gold and everyone who met her was mesmerized by her smile, laugh and generosity. She loved dearly and deeply and dreamed big for herself and even more so for those she loved. She was a loyal friend, devoted mother, wife, sister and daughter. She stood up for herself and others when needed. She often gave more of herself, and to others, than she could but would do so with a grateful heart. Becky left us too soon and will forever be missed.
A small graveside service will be held on Tuesday, May 31st at the Old Butler Cemetery in Butler, TN at 11:30 am. This is her birthday and wedding anniversary to her sweetheart. The family invites you to join them as they say goodbye and reunite Becky with Joe.
