Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 14, 2013.
In the early morning hours on Jan. 10, 2013, Rebecca Anne Young Hopkins lost her courageous 20-year battle with cancer. Becky was born Feb. 29, 1956, a daughter of Arthur H. and Elizabeth McKeon Young of Ulster.

Becky was a graduate of Athens Area High School, Mansfield University and Syracuse University.

On Nov. 19, 1988, Becky married Gordon Hopkins of Oakland, Calif. They recently celebrated their 24th anniversary. On Dec. 10, 1993, they were blessed with the birth of their son, Arthur.

In addition to her husband and son, Becky is survived by her sister Millie and Richard Hollenback of Towanda; her brother Richard Young of Marion, N.Y.; her niece Lynne Dzwil; nephews Scott and Matt Young; numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

Becky was predeceased by her mother Elizabeth M. Young in 2006; her father Arthur H. Young in 2012 and her sister-in-law, Inez V. Young in 1997.

A memorial service will be held at a later date. Donations, in Becky's memory, may be made to the Ulster United Methodist Church or to a charity of your choice.

So sorry to hear of Becky's passing. I knew her from the time I started elementary school all the way through college. Thinking of her reminds me of being a kid. Michele Fuller Lewis
