Her career path was established at Eastern Heights State Bank from which she retired after many years and after achieving the title of VP & Auditor. Her many 3M coworkers and their common experience remained always significant & valuable to her.
Becky loved travel, painting & various creative ventures. She treasured her family, especially her nieces & nephews & their families. Her Wisconsin cabin on Golden Pond Road was a most special retreat. She loved the Hayward area, its people & nature. She dearly loved the beaches in Freeport Grand Bahama, Bahamas and maintained friendships there that were established during the years at CSB. Becky was a Girl Scout and a Girl Scout Leader. Another of her greatest loves was her pets; dogs & especially her cats.
