She was raised in the Eldridge and Lebanon area and graduated from Lebanon High School in the Class of 1976. She worked as a florist and in retail management at the Lake of the Ozarks for a few years. After she and Howard were married, they made their home near Lebanon, and Becky became a “stay-at-home” mom. In addition to being a devoted homemaker to her family, she did help Howard in the operation of their car business, their annual fireworks stands, and on the Coffman family farm. Later, Becky made her home in Camdenton, Missouri.
Becky made her profession of faith in Christ early in her life and was a member of the Living Waters Pentecostal Church in Lebanon. She had a deep and abiding faith and was a walking testimony to her strength, faith and trust in God.
She was a strong advocate for Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, and had established a scholarship in honor of her daughter, Michaela. She felt that White Oak Pond Cemetery was a precious place and helped make the Christmas cedar blankets for several years. She was very artistically talented and was a caring person, always putting others ahead of herself. She possessed a delightful sense of humor, was very kind and maintained a positive attitude regardless of her many trials and challenges. Her family was very dear to her and her grandson, Crew, was especially precious to her.
Becky was a loving mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them during her lifetime.
A memorial has been established and contributions may be left at the funeral home.
