Not sure what to say?

Becky was a talented musician and friend. Grateful that she is now eternally young and healthy. Blessings to family and friends as they await a joyful reunion with Becky.

Becky was an amazing reporter and mentor to many young journalists. She was a consummate professional who asked pointed questions but always in a respectful manner.

Her coverage of Springfield news through the statewide networks kept the entire state on top of what their legislators and governor were doing or in many cases, not doing.

She will be greatly missed.

Our sincere condolences to everyone who loved Becky as we did.
She taught piano to our daughter Meara for 3 years. She gave our daughter an appreciation for finer music, often took her to the Illinois Sympony. As her health declined, she continued buying sympony tickets and encouraging Meara to attend.

May Ms Becky Rest In Peace,

Terry and Beth Gietl

Becky interviews Paul Simon

In her professional career Becky was quite an achiever. She was very fond of her pets and told me stories of play dates to the Edgar's home so their dogs could play together. She loved living in Chicago early in her career and had some wild adventures. Becky's life was too short and the end years burdened with health issues that sometimes isolated her. I will always remember my fun-loving, strong and courageous friend. My condolences to the Enrietto family.

So so sorry to hear of Becky's passing. She was a joy to be around and always so fun and professional.
Prayers to Becky's family of friends !

Joe and I both worked with Becky at different times, and we both enjoyed her friendship. We always liked to visit with her at the Edgar reunions. We are very sorry for your loss.

Katy and Joe Khayyat

ILCA President @ Statehouse

Becky was a JOY to work with; the first female president of the Illinois Legislative Correspondents Association, the 9th President.
She covered Paul Simon of Illinois when he announced for President. An awesome reporter!

Becky was cheerful and engaging, a person who could make instant friendships last a lifetime. Our deepest condolences.
