Rebecca Basnight Obituary

Rebecca R. Basnight NORFOLK - Rebecca Princess Raines "Becky" Basnight sadly passed away Feb. 17, 2009. She was a native of Norfolk. Becky enjoyed gardening, decorating and spending time with family but her greatest pleasure comes from memories of the time spent with her daughter, Ashley. Her loving passionate life will always be remembered. Left to cherish her loving memory, her daughter, Ashley; mother, Delores; stepfather, CH Wallace; sister, Debbie McClain and husband Stewart; brother, Wes Raines and wife Patty; nephews, Kyle and Sam McClain; cousin, Mattie McClain; and many other cousins and family members in and out of state. We find comfort knowing that Becky is with the Lord. The family will receive friends in Woodlawn Funeral Home, 6329 E.

I am saddened at just learning of Becky's passing. I can not begin to express the impact Becky had on my life. She had such a big heart and spoke of the love for her family and especially Ashley constantly. I am certain she is a place of total peace and love finally. Becky I love you.

I recently just met Becky and she left this ever lasting impression with me. Full of life and made you laugh. Her family came before herself. She spoke of her daughter Ashley and how much she loved her missed spending time with her. She will be missed but always remembered.

I recently got to know Becky. She was such a wonderful and wise person. Going through a lot in one's life gives them the opportunity to relate to others. She gave me hope and strength for my battles ahead. She will be missed and thought of often.

Becky's daughter Ashley has been my best friend for four years. I never had the chance to know Becky, but I know that Ashley loved her so much and that Becky has had such an impact on her life. Becky is in better hands now that she's with God and I know that so many people will miss her.
