Becky was such a delightful woman and we will always
Remember her passion for RVing and her family. We heard
Stories about Cody and RW and her mother and siblings. We still have
A wall hanging that mother made for us. Pandas. And a Burl wood
Bowl sits on our entry table. She was so excited to get her Tiger
Motorhome, it was perfect for Becky. She came to Topeka and
Spent a weekend with us that left innumerable memories.
Finally Becky you have peace. Peace from a disease that robbed
You from life way too soon. Blessings to you and your sweet family.
Revelation 21:4 – And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and heart felt condolences are with you and your family during this very difficult time.
Thoughts & prayers to Becky’s family. Rest in peace, Dear friend, til we meet again. RV buddies.
I first became acquainted with Becky Pritchard when our sons, Cody & Justin became good friends in elementary school – a friendship that remains today. Becky always had a quick smile & a friendly word. I got to visit her church in Springdale & admired that she was a woman of faith. Becky was a facinating person – from the different careers/positions she’d held to her many travels. But what I admired about her most was the kind of mother she was – how she loved & cherished Cody. After his many accomplishments at Greenland School & U of A, Cody went to Seattle, attended college & started his career and she was so proud & happy about that! She told me so the last time I saw her. She also told me that Cody had met a special girl named Jess – and how she hoped they would marry. She was just beaming! I know she was so happy when that marriage did happen! My heart goes out to Becky’s husband, and to Cody & Jess. And I am honored to have known this amazing woman.
