She is preceded in death by her parents, Heimer and Mildred Hendrickson of Kingston, Minnesota, and her first husband Dr. Michael M. Paparella of Minneapolis.

She is also survived by her brother Bob, his wife Nancy and their family; her brother Dean, his wife Belinda, and their family, and many nephews, nieces and cousins. Additionally, she is survived by her biological son Kevin Brent Forman, his adoptive parents, Bill and Joy Forman, and their family. Becky graduated with Honors from Kimball High School in 1964 and later North Park College in Chicago and the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. She was a generous, loving, and gentle woman who was passionate about the transformative power of travel and experiencing new cultures. She found joy in hiking in most of the Twin Cities regional parks, and caring for her furry, four legged friends. Though she has departed this world, her legacy of love, adventure, and gentle strength lives on through her family and in every life she has touched.
