Sandra Becker (Downey)

Sandra Jean Becker (Downey) was born December 26th 1950 to the late Arthur & Bertha Downey and made her transition out of physical form on June 13th 2020. Sandra was the cherished matriarch of her family. Survived by her 3 children whom she was so proud of; Kelly Gibson (Jason), Brian Becker, and Jackie Finch (Jonathan) and her adoring grandchildren who brought her endless joy; Taylor Wood (Tom), Ashley & Alex Bohm, and Rahlin & Riveigh Finch. Also survived by her sister Brenda Prince (James) and brother Jaime Downey (Laurie) and her Persian cat companion, Bear. Predeceased by siblings Barbara Cipra (Robert) and Duane Downey. Sandra was most remembered for her positive intent on life, being aware and in the present moment at all times. She had an admirable acceptance to All that is and a deep appreciation for everything that presented itself to her. She was a strong believer in the Higher Self. We are all connected from One Source Energy. Through her many moments in this life, she has taught her kids and grandkids so much, especially in her enlightened years since her cancer diagnosis in 2007. She was a firm believer that to heal is to release the resistance and allow the energy to flow. Her energy will continue. A devoted Mother and Gramma, she was ambitious, sincere, dedicated and full of love for all living things. What brought Sandy the most Joy was spending time with family, going on vacations as much as possible, taking barefoot walks in the grass, warm sunny days, meditating, attending spiritual seminars, trying new recipes, dining out, learning new things and sharing them, and winning at Bingo. A poem was written and given to her several years ago by one of her children but it speaks for each of them: If we had to pick a Mother, we would always just choose you. There could never be another that could ever fill your shoes. You've raised us on your own, selflessly giving all you could. You'd always go all out for us because you thought you should. Even when you didn't have it, you'd find a way to make it ours. We never saw your sacrifices, you just had super powers. It wasn't until adulthood that I look back upon those years, how everything you did for us can now bring me to tears. You're the most amazing woman, amazing mother and a friend. You're genuine right to the core, nothing about you is pretend. We've been through so much together, we've given you lots of grief. But since we've grown up now I hope we've given you some relief. I'd love to go back in time, I'd give everything I own, just to relive our childhood, knowing now what I didn't know. Knowing all you did for us. Knowing how much you gave. We know how much you loved us. That's one thing we'll always save. Our gratitude goes out to you for all you've done and do. Motherhood is a thankless job, but we want to give our thanks to you. I couldn't be a good parent, if I didn't have you as mine, cause of all the things you do so well, that's an area that you shine! We hope that we're as good at it and our children feel like we do. We're proud that you're our Momma! And we FOREVER love you too! Private service and interment at convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to charity of own choice in her name.
