Condolences
Delores A Howard from Elgin, IL
"This hit me harder than I expected. I did not grow up in St. Charles and only met Becky through my husband Jeff. She was the most welcoming and accepting person who helped anchor me into the group. She was like the mom figure to those knuckleheads that she went to school with. Enjoying their antics and trying to help maintain some control. I enjoyed every time we crossed paths and could catch up. She will truly be missed by all who knew her. To her family please accept my deepest condolences."
William Page from Rockledge, FL
"Becky taught 4/5th and 5th to 3 of my 4 when she was at Munhall. An amazing, creative educator whose innovative techniques enlivened her classroom and inspired her students. Her many past pupils will fondly remember the games, "campfires," and songs she used to make her lessons come alive. It is impossible to measure the positive impact she had on so many. Our condolences to her family and our thanks for her dedication to our children"
