She was born on August 13, 1981 and passed into glory after a brief illness, at the age 40, on January 11, 2022, in West Chester, PA. Becca was born in Bryn Mawr, PA and lived in Delaware County until the age of 7 when her family relocated to Apple Valley, MN. She spent her childhood in Minnesota, graduating from Bethany Christian Academy in Bloomington, MN after which, she received a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and Psychology at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, GA.

Lamont of Philadelphia, PA; sister, Michelle Renee Dunphy and brother-in-law Matthew of Kennett Square, PA; niece Madelyn Dunphy and nephew Danny Dunphy; and her loveable tortoise cat, Cali. She is also survived by many wonderful friends whom she was blessed to know and love. Becca was proceeded in death by her grandparents, Lawrence and Johanna Cistola and John and Phyllis Lamont. Becca's passions begin with her absolute love for Jesus. She often wrote the phrase, "Jesus Saves" on many postings which reflects how she wanted to tell others about the good news of salvation that could be found only by trusting and following Jesus. She was a gifted middle school history teacher and taught for eight years in middle schools located in MN, CA, and in Bolivia where she was able to use her Spanish speaking skills at Carachipampa Christian School. The Lord called Becca in July 2019 to serve as the local Director of Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) NorCal/Central Coast of California. This was a wonderful blending her passion to teach and to reach children with the good news of Jesus Christ. She longed to see the lives of precious children changed as they heard the gospel message. She showed compassion for the elderly by volunteering in a nursing home when she was a teen and seeking out seniors to love throughout her life. She focused on showing God's love to those she met, which is reflected by many people who refer to her as their closest friend. Becca loved to sing on the worship team at Cypress Community Church of Monterey County where she was a member. She excelled at staying in touch with family and friends on all types of media and sent many cards and letters. She enjoyed travel, hiking, the ocean, reading and sharing quips through her hysterical sense of humor. No one will forget the sound of her captivating, charismatic voice and her gregarious laugh. She will be dearly missed by so many whose lives were deeply touched and forever changed by knowing this faithful daughter of the heavenly Father, who greeted her by saying "well done, good and faithful servant."
