Becky retired in 2018 after 25 years in the field. During her leisure time, she relished trips to the beach, reading, solving word puzzles and games, crocheting, attending craft fairs, exploring genealogy, watching British TV shows, and had a passion for Motown music, Jimi Hendrix, and Iron Butterfly.
