Becky Dennis Templeton died at her son's home in Pennsylvania while under hospice care on August 3, 2016. She had been fighting pancreatic cancer for over a year. (per Carla Clark Iverson)
I have known Becky since 6th grade, she asked me to dance with her at a 7th grade sock hop, we played in band through high school and were in 'Fiorello' together, Becky had the lead and I was a dancer. We continued our friendship through the years but I always felt out of place because of her marriages. Becky was a very talented woman and I want to say my goodbys to her through her remaining family, especially her oldest daughter who I knew as a small child before Becky's marriage to Tim, her sister Chris, and Mrs. Dennis if she is still living. The rest of her children I met only briefly once or twice in Le Sueur, MN and am sending my deepest condolences to them.
I've known Becky since junior high school where we shared many classes together and especially enjoyed working on stage crew for the high school musicals and plays. She was one of my bridesmaids, and we often cared for each other's children in those early and financially challenged post-RHS years. We stayed in touch off and on over the next 52 years! Just a couple of months go, we briefly talked as she was traveling to visit her mom, sister and brother, possibly for the last time. She later told me she was receiving hospice care at home, and was feeling comfortable with the decision. She was truly one of the most positive people I've ever known, even in the face of difficult life events, including her own impending demise. I will always remember her for her multiple artistic talents, her warm smile and infectious laugh. I will miss her. My condolences to Becky's family.
I was terribly saddened today to hear of Becky's passing. I didn't know of her problem. As most of you know, Becky and I dated for some time as Juniors. I am so sorry that she is gone. I have many happy memories of her and still have some pictures we took together. She was a doll and a lovely person, and I am sure she stayed that way her entire life. Our class is less with her absence.
