  2. I loved working with Becky! Her humor and loyalty are the things I lover her for the most. She was a wonderful educator and friend. CCISD was better for having her as a team member and educator.
    She will be missed.

  4. Oh what a bright light Becky was at Creekside. Becky was always one with the brightest smile and laugh. After I retired I actually subbed for her. She loves her husband and son fiercely all her days. May God be with all her family.

  7. We met Becky on a Viking River Cruise in Europe, approx 5 years, ago. She was a delightful woman who was larger than life. She was devoted to Roy, to her son, and to teaching. We are so sorry for your loss. God bless her.
