Dixon on October 11, 1942, in Lake Charles, Louisiana, where her father was assigned during WWII. Native West Texans, following the war, the family moved back to San Angelo, where Rebecca grew up, graduating from San Angelo Central High School in 1960, attending San Angelo College, and graduating in 1964 from Southwest Texas State College, now Texas State University in San Marcos.
Known by all as Becky, she had a special passion for music and dance, and was a member of the dance teams at all three schools. She was married in 1967 to Lewis Craig Rizer, who preceded her in death on December 19, 1995.
Becky and Craig spent many happy years living and working in Granbury, Texas - he as a Kraft Foods representative and she in local banks. They were members of First Presbyterian Church of Granbury.

Following Craig's death, Becky turned her focus once again to her lifelong love of dance, becoming active in both tap dance and clogging groups which participated in community events and entertained for nursing homes and others. During those years, Becky met and shared a loving friendship with Joe Bingham centered around friends, the antique car hobby, visits with their extended families, and a mutual love for their cat, Libby, until Joe's death in 2010.
In 2018, Becky moved to San Antonio to be near her sister, settling in the Waterford on Huebner, a senior living community, where she made many new friends and enjoyed playing games, celebrating special events, and visiting. She is survived by her sister, Lou Williams; brother-in-law, David Williams; nephew, Tom Williams; niece, Susan Williams Sloan; and numerous cousins.
Following cremation, inurnment will be at University Presbyterian Church, San Antonio, and a memorial plaque will be placed beside her husband's grave in the Bosley Cemetery, Santo, Palo Pinto County, TX. Memorial celebrations of life are pending in both places.
