Becky's commitment to service extended to her charitable work; she volunteered with numerous organizations and felt a special calling to support individuals with disabilities, recognizing their inherent value and making a lasting impact on many lives.

With over 45 years of experience as a Real Estate Broker, Becky was recognized as a local authority, providing invaluable advice on her radio show for more than 20 years. She served as a subject matter expert for News Channel 4, lending her expertise to real estate-focused segments.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Becky was an avid traveler, relishing adventures with her husband and friends from church. One of her favorite memories was her trip to the Holy Lands where she was baptized in the Jordan River. Her passion for community service was evident through her active involvement in numerous non-profit organizations, where she generously shared her time and resources.

Family was at the heart of Becky's life. She treasured moments spent playing board games, cooking delicious meals using herbs from her own garden, and floating in the pool, where she delighted in watching her grandkids showcase their impressive jumps and dives.

Becky's warm spirit and unwavering kindness touched the lives of many, and she will be profoundly missed by her family, friends, and the community she served so faithfully. A celebration of her life will be held on November 16th at 10:00am at Oklahoma City First Church of the Nazarene at 4400 NW Expressway, OKC, OK 73116.
