She was a brave woman who fought for the conservation of our natural resources and did so because it was genuinely a belief she carried in her heart. Becca is survived by her loving parents, Leonard and Deborah Becicka, and a myriad of extended family members, friends, and colleagues. She was loved by so many and will truly be missed by all.
