Becky enjoyed shopping and spending time with her friends and family. She loved telling stories & jokes, and was always known to be the life of the party. She especially loved spending time with her grandchildren, who knew her as “Peba,” a name given to her by her oldest grandson, Caleb. Becky will always be loved and remembered by all who knew her. 

 

     In addition to her parents, Becky was preceded in death by two brothers, Jon and Mark Duncan.
