As a mature young woman, she embraced parenthood with the arrival of her first born and found it so rewarding that she gave birth to another girl and a boy.

Later in life, Becky's grandchildren gave her great joy. Becky was artistic and creative, producing beautifully embroidered hats, shirts, towels, and other gifts for family and friendsa hobby that she turned into a business.

Always a social butterfly, Becky loved planning and hosting celebrations and thoroughly enjoyed the day before her last illness a celebration complete with karaoke. Butterflies were special to Becky and reminded her that her departed parents, Harold and Doris Lake, were always nearby.

Becky was afflicted with lupus, and donated countless hours to organizations whose mission is to find a cure for this illness.
