She was a tough legislator, school board member and county board rep. We were lucky to have her represent us. What a great person and great politician.

Becky had many friends and one of the most wonderful things about being her friend is that she always made you feel as though you were the best of her friends. She was an astute observer of politics and a brilliant participant in the political scene -- be it the county board, the school board or the legislature. I am going to miss her but I am glad she lived through the election of Barack Obama because she was passionate about his candidacy and what it meant to the country she cared so much about. She was a wonderful woman. We have been so very lucky to know her.

Thank you for this wonderful column. I had never heard this story from my mother, but it sounds just like her. She was great at working behind the scenes to get something accomplished.
All of us in Becky's family have appreciated reading these comments.
I've set up a blog to remember Becky:
