She would get to spend time with her cousins, go to Bible school, riding in the golf cart, and going to eat frosting at Aunt Ann’s. Becky was always so thoughtful of others. She would see things she wanted to buy and take to her family when they visited. She would love to take special items and toys to her special little cousins. She would also have her mom mail special items throughout the year. Becky was a member of the Peachtree City Community Corp Rotary Club.
