Rebecca Crosby Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 14, 2024.
Rebecca Ann Crosby (née Henniger), known affectionately as Becky, passed away on August 1, 2024, in Columbus, Ohio, at the age of 74. Born on April 23, 1950, in Akron, Ohio, she was a vibrant soul remembered for her charisma and humor. Becky graduated from Hower High School, where she was famously known as the "class clown."

Becky's career journey began as a beautician before she transitioned into the business sector after relocating to Columbus, Ohio. She was a valued employee at Scientific Columbus and Honeywell, where she worked in administrative capacities and earned a Six Sigma certification. Her organizational skills were unmatched both at home and in her professional life.

Beyond her professional achievements, Becky was deeply passionate about gardening, baking, and spending time outdoors. She was a dedicated sports fan, always cheering for Cleveland teams. Her love for cats was profound, often referring to them endearingly as "kitties."

Becky is survived by her daughter,
Amanda Smith; son-in-law, Jerry Smith; grandchildren, Jordan, Jackson, and Clara Smith; sisters, Jan Henniger and Debbie Finn; brother-in-law, Pat Finn; nephew, Rob Finn; and niece, Kerry Finn. She was preceded in death by her son, Michael Bagwell, and her parents, Eva and Robert Henniger.

A memorial service to honor Becky's life will be held on Saturday, August 17th at 1 pm at Life Tabernacle, 2689 James Rd, Granville, OH 43023. Becky's legacy of joy and laughter will be cherished by all who knew her.
