It’s Okay to Not be Okay - but it’s Not Okay to Stay that Way.

In 1979, Becky earned her BA from Gardner-Webb College in Music Education and began a teaching career. Becky married her husband Rick in 1979 and were later blessed with two daughters. Becky took a few years out of the classroom to be a full-time mom and to earn her M.Ed. from Furman University. After Rick’s death in 2002, Becky left her teaching career to give full attention to her daughters, Karla and Kelly.

Becky questioned if God would continue to have a place in ministry for her as a widow, and God answered.  In 2004, Becky joined the RC church staff to lead in women’s ministry and preschool ministry. In July of 2007, with God’s prompting, Becky resigned her Rocky Creek position, returned to the classroom, and earned her pastoral counseling credentials. Waiting a few years to become fully vested to receive full state benefits, Becky finally retired from public school teaching.

In January of 2020, Becky was invited back to begin a counseling ministry at Rocky Creek. She is presently working on her Ph.D from Jacksonville Theological Seminary. When asked about her vocational journey, Becky responded, “It’s all been God’s plan. He really does care for widows and orphans!” If you ever wonder if God cares about you during difficult seasons of your life, reach out to Becky for counseling. She can share from the BIble and her life experiences to help you discover God’s plans for you.

Becky’s favorite time is family time, and her favorite title is Granna. The Simpsons and Picardis will forever have her heart.
