About	MANSFIELD: “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16 Many people look forward to Christmas morning for a variety of different reasons. The excitement of the unknown is all part of the fun! If we aren’t intentional, it would be very easy to miss the hidden ‘special’ lingering in the moments the Lord quietly stores away for us. December 25, 2023, was no different. Becky was able to ‘Rejoice and be glad, for her reward in heaven was great!’ As a brilliant sun opened up the sky, the unusually warm December day took the sting away as we quietly watched her pass away from this life into heaven’s home. She fought a truly brave, courageous and joyful fight against cancer. She absolutely WON and is completely healed and more alive and well than even the best here. Becky was born in Mansfield, Ohio on March 22, 1947 where she lived most of her life. She graduated from Ontario High School in 1965 and went on to marry the love of her life, David on September 21, 1968. She enjoyed a career at Mansfield Christian School serving others well as a part time aide. Becky was truly a woman who loved well, lived simply and prayed fervently. Things were just things. Money wasn’t meant to be spent lavishly. If she ever bought something for herself, it was a true rarity. You would not typically find her in a crowded room, or a table full of people. But when you found her, and took the space and time for her, her smile was joy and her presence was enough. She loved animals and always wanted to own a baby monkey. She loved flowers and was wonderful at planting. When Becky was diagnosed with cancer, she never complained or said “Why me?’ She just smiled and asked, “What do we need to do?” She walked this journey in faith and valor. Her husband David, loving her and caring for her every step of the way. As Corrie Ten Boom once said: “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” She always trusted the sovereign Lord. From the hospital bed, from the floor after falling, from the sickness, from not being able to walk, from being told ‘there is nothing more that we can do…’ Through a smile of faith and a sense of humor she kept her eyes on Jesus. She wanted people to see JESUS, not her cancer. Becky is survived by David Mackey, her loving husband of 55 years; Son, Brian (Chris) Mackey; Daughter, Kimberly (Matthew) Snyder. Grandchildren, Izaiah, Grady, Shelby, Tait, Zoe, Micah, Molly, Landon, Joey, Aubrey, Xavier, Jacob, Jailynn and Jaiden. Her best friend Dana Palmer and special friends Mark and Mary Winkler. Also survived by her sister, Sue Robison Ross. She was preceded in death by her son Bret, and grandson Lazarus.
