Becky found a truly unexplainable joy and purpose in this role, treating all her students as her own kids for over 26 years. She was united in holy matrimony to Gilberto A. Ruiz on May 7, 1983.

Family was of utmost importance to her, and she possessed all of the wonderful qualities that a child needs in a mother - patience, generosity, protection, love, care, and support.
