Becky and I started as new nurses together in 1991, we learned together, we were scared together and we had so much fun. Syringe water wars, pranking people, wheelchair races. She always had a big micky mouse bow in her hair. She was an amazing person and shared her love and joy of nursing with everyone. I will cherish the time we had.
I worked with Becky at St. John Owasso she was the manager of Labor and Delivery when the hospital first opened and for many years. Becky loved Mickey Mouse. Becky and I shared the love of Disney Beannie Babies. Here is a picture of the flowers I had special made for her funeral to honor Becky love of Mickey Mouse. I am praying for God to bring comfort and peace to her family during this difficult time. 🙏

There are so many things I could say about Beck. She will always be one of my heroes in this life. We have been friends since kindergarten. She is that friend that no matter how much time or distance separates, when you talk or are back together again, you pick up right where you left off.
She basically delivered my second son - doctor showed up at the last possible second. She was also there to protect him when a very young phlebotomist was trying to take blood and couldn't (she had already stuck him multiple times). I called and asked if she was at work. She said no, but I can be there in ten minutes. She came at a moments notice. She walked in and was shocked at the vials this young girl had laid out. She had a few choice words for her and told her that she was about to draw almost his entire blood volume. Then with practiced efficiency she took his blood with a single stick. Between the grace of God and Becky, no irreparable damage was done.
She was strong, compassionate, caring, loving, loyal... the adjectives go on and on... But most of all she was simply my friend.
I am so sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers!
Becky was such a great leader and mentor to me. She helped shape me into the nurse that I am today. She had a way with all of us and treated us like we were her family too. Thank you for sharing her with us for all of these years. She will truly be missed by so many!
