Ninang Becky (Ninang means Godmother in the Filipino language) has been and always will be one of the most important mother figures in my life. She was unassuming, steadfast in integrity, witty and kind. For reasons we will never fully understand, our communication lapses in the more recent years but Ninang Becky, her dear mother and all of her wonderful family will always be in our hearts and prayers. I pray that she is at peace and comfortable in our Lord’s arms, and pray that the entire family can find themselves surrounded by love. We love you Ninang Becky, we miss you as we always have, but are so happy that you are now in our Lord’s hands, and we cannot wait to see you again.
Love
Nia and Family

Becky, you were the best big sister ever!! You were a 2nd momma to us all, no matter our age. I love you so much and I am going to miss you forever! I know God has you in His arms and you are at peace and pain-free. And that gives me peace even when I selfishly want you back here with us. I know we will see each other again! Fly high, Butterfly!

Becky was a very special person to so many people and she adored her family....each and every one! Her Nieces and nephews were her pride and joy. I worked with Becky in Home Health and was her manager for several years. We worked closely together and supported each other, joked with each other, argued with each other, laughed together and yes, sometimes we were almost in tears but thru it all.....we loved and respected each other. We also found out that we are 2nd cousins (our mothers are cousins) and Becky always told me, “love you cuzâ€...in fact my last message from her was those exact words. I loved Becky’s “never give up attitudeâ€, her sense of humor, her dedication to her family and her job, her directness and yes, those “looks†she gave me when I asked her to do something and she thought I was crazy! Becky was always supportive of me, not only at work, but in our personal lives too. Becky has touched so many lives in a positive manner and She will definitely be missed!
May God wrap his arms around each family member and give you peace and comfort during this difficult time.
Becky you fought a long, hard fight. Now fly high with the angels and butterflies.
“Love you cuzâ€

I’m so sorry for your loss. Becky was a wonderful person that I worked with in Home Health for many years. She was a hard worker that never complained and her positive attitude was admired. She was an awesome nurse. She bragged on her nieces and nephews that she loved dearly. In fact she made realize I was severely lacking in the “perfect aunt†department. I’m sure each and everyone of you realize she adored you. I will cherish our days together and look for to seeing her again. Sincere condolences â¤ï¸

I worked with Becky at St Bernards Home Health.
Loved her energy and she was fantastic at her job. She talked about her family sisters nieces nephews and her mother.
She will be missed by so many.

I work in St Bernards Home Health. I shared an office Becky for a while a few years back. I enjoyed those times so much. I never had to wonder what Becky thought about anything, she voiced her thoughts pretty quick. She made me laugh! That’s one of the things I loved so much about her. She will be greatly miss. Love and prayers to her loved ones and friends.

Becky & I shared so many memories from St Bernards Pediatrics to St Bernards Home Health. We loved to reminisce about the good, funny & serious times. I went to her often to discuss situations, because I respected her opinion. I would stop at her desk ,just to check in on what was happening. She gave me the referrals to code & I gave the codes the the admit nurse. We were all a team each with their duties & responsibilities. We were FAMILY. We all pitched in with whatever staff members or their patients needed. Sometimes I would call Becky at home & start babbling my situation, then her Mother would say, I think you need to tell Becky....... I am her Mother. I can’t remember how times I did it, before I would ask who answered the phone.....we who ever would laugh. I treasure my days with Becky.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
