her lifetime. She was one of the first non-traditional students to graduate from Northeastern Junior College with her Associate Degree in Equine Science.
Becky was a true lover of life, finding peace in nature, enjoying walks in the canyons and pastures, reaching out to meet others and learn their stories.
