Becky, the daughter of Elton and Hilda Jacobs, is survived by her daughter, Julie Richardson and husband, Robbie Richardson and their two children, Tyler Richardson and his wife, Wendy and their daughter, Milana; daughter, Traci Smith and her husband, Allan Smith and their two daughters, Kinsley and Kambrey, (Tinsel and Cranberry as Nana would call them) and her son, Travis Stewart and his wife, Manda and their children, Shawn, Trent, and Aspyn; her sister, Martha Warman of Lineus; and her very special sister and best friend, Shirley Bickford of Carmel; her brothers, Desmond Jacobs of North Carolina, Eugene Jacobs of Houlton, Elton Jacobs Jr. of Houlton; her nephew, Dale White and his wife, Ellen; and her two very best friends, Julie Hogan and Claudia Klauzenberg of Houlton.
Becky was predeceased by her parents Elton and Hilda Jacobs; her sisters, Barbara Aldrich and Joanne Ellingwood; and her brothers, Elden White and Douglas Jacobs.
Becky did multiple things with her life. She spent all of it working very hard. She was a cosmetologist and nail technician for many years and drove general public bus for Aroostook Transportation. After retirement, she found enjoyment in volunteering to drive for Penquis Transportation. Becky loved spending time at camp with Dale, Ellen and “Queenie”. She loved kayaking, boating, fishing, playing bingo, and going out dancing on Saturday nights. She was a shark at cribbage and loved to win! Her latest pastime was scratching the Maine Crossword and hoping for the big win.
Tyler and Traci share a favorite memory of driving in the car with Nana and singing Chattahoochee.
When Tyler lived with Nana after high school, they would sit down on the living room floor, playing cards, and joke and laugh for most of the evening. These simple moments will always be his most cherished.
We would like to express our gratitude to the Lafayette Center team and Hospice Care of Houlton.
At Becky’s request there will be no services. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in her memory to the Houlton Salvation Army, Houlton, Maine.
