I am so sorry to hear that Becky passed away. She was a " neighborhood" girl who I remember so well and so fondly. My condolences to her family.

I haven't seen or heard from Becky since high school. I remember her as a very bright, energetic person with a great smile that did well in school. Her bio suggests that she led a good life surrounded by family and friends. My sincere condolences to all that were close to her. May you find comfort in the fond memories.

Becky Taff was a very special friend in my life ! I was like most boys who grew up with Becky and attended Hillcrest Baptist Church, "In Love" With Becky for many years !Annette,her sister, was somewhat older than we were,but Brenda and Ellis were special also.Brenda married Ried Buckelew and they served as Pastors at a small Baptist Church in Cataula for several years. The entire Family were very devout Christians and inspired me in my youth! I will always remember Becky as being one of the "BEAUTIES" at Hillcrest Baptist Church ! My prayers are with her family ! Sincerely Bobby J. Campbell

My sincere condolences to Becky's family. I am so sorry to hear this news. I just asked about her at the last reunion, but no one I talked to seemed to know where she was. I do remember a reunion a few (?) years ago when we were both there. She was a good friend when we were in school and one of my fondest memories was cheerleading with her our senior year. I am so happy that she was a sister in the Lord and know where she is now. She will be greatly missed.

Becky always had a smile for all who knew her.

I am saddened to hear of Becky's passing. I sincerely offer my sympathy to her family and loved ones. As I was remembering her sweet teenaged face, and how much I admired her, I went to the our high school yearbook ,and was touched by the words next to her picture, "Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and be loved is the greatest happiness of existence." Reading the comments/memories section proves that she fulfilled her "greatest happiness of existence."
Rest in Peace, Becky! You were indeed loved and will be missed.
