Rebecca Minshall Obituary

Minshall, Rebecca "Beckie" Dale

June 11, 1945-March 11, 2017





Beckie Dale Minshall was a brilliant woman with a lifelong thirst for knowledge of all kinds, especially on the topics of current events, space and UFO's, spirituality and the afterlife, and science in general. She was originally from Marion, Ohio, but New Mexico captured her heart, and she made her home in Albuquerque since 1993. She graduated from Marion Harding High in 1963, and attended Ohio State from 1963-1967, where she studied Social Work. She was an avid "Buckeye" fan all of her life. Beckie actively participated in the UFO research community, and was especially fascinated with Egyptian culture and artifacts. Beckie was rarely without a feline companion, and loved all animals. She worked as a computer programmer after receiving her Associates Degree from Columbus Technical Institute in 1968, became a certified nursing home administrator in 1988 , and began a career in medical massage and neuromuscular therapy after graduating from the Florida School of Massage in 1993, and receiving her neuromuscular therapy certification. She also did volunteer work for hospice. Her em

pathy and healing touch were a true gift to those she helped.



Her loving heart, loyalty, keen intelligence, and wit endeared her to so many. She is survived in Ohio by loved ones Cara and Don Witte, Onda and Jim Booker, their children Christy, Andrew, and Linda, Bill Jones, and in New Mexico by Molly Booker, Nanette Bolden, Sara Ransom and her children, Brian and Kaitlyn, The Dunne Family, DeDe Von Kleist, Lawanna Newman, Don & Donna Redish, Will and Sally Vigil, and many others whose lives she touched.



She will be interred in LaRue, Ohio, beside her beloved parents, Susan "Imogene" Metz Minshall, and Arthur "Richard" Minshall. She requested no memorial service. If you wish to honor her memory, please donate to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals at

(800) 628-0028.

Dearest Rebecca Dale- very heart sick to hear of your passing. We go back 40 years- met in Columbus OH. All of our phone conversations will be missed. I remember your idea of your afterlife would be a cottage by the woods with all your beloved cats with you. I had a deep feeling you had passed from this world. I know you are at peace now. I love you dear friend.
