The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Becky. She absolutely loved to travel and visit with family and friends, cross-stitch, sit outside to enjoy a beautiful summer day, listen to country music, swim, play cards, laugh until your sides hurt, throwback tequila like no other, indulge in a tub of movie theater popcorn, attend class reunions and reminisce. Becky took pride in her duties at the County Clerk’s office and the capacity in which she served.
