She began her English teaching career at Lincolnton High School, 1963-1965, and moved to Greensboro in 1965. She taught at Ben L. Smith High School for 28 years until her retirement in 1993. Becky jumped at retirement to avoid being trained in computer record keeping. In retirement, she enjoyed traveling abroad, turning pottery at the Cultural Arts Center, cooking and entertaining, reading, visiting the coast with friends, playing bridge, and doing crosswords puzzles. People were drawn to her for her quick wit, insight, and generosity. She handled everything with grace, no complaints, and good humor.
A proud Women's College alumna, the class of 1963 being the last before WC became UNCG, Becky's annual donations continued for 50 years. Most recently she joined her classmates in giving a patio at Hinshaw Dormitory. In 1996, she initiated annual scholarships for two Smith High School graduates. Those wishing to honor Becky may contribute to the scholarship fund at UNCG.
