Becky was a RN and devoted her entire life to saving and caring for people, family, friends, neighbors and even strangers, who needed help. She finished her career managing nursing homes and bringing a caring and genuine heartfelt nature ensuring that residents were loved and properly cared for. She was very proud of her Irish heritage; father Joseph R Reavley being born and raised in Limerick City, Ireland. She loved the sun, beach days, dancing, laughing, a coke with crushed ice, cooking, watching football and being a diehard Bears fan. Becky will be deeply missed and always remembered.
A private family mass will be held at the St. Pat's chapel. In lieu of flowers or gifts, Becky would have loved a memorial in her name to continue helping save lives with a donation to the National Kidney Foundation. Kidney.org.
