I will always remember Becky as the prettiest girl in our graduating class. We would go on double dates with our respective boyfriends. She was fun to be around and always creating some kind of excitement. It was good to see her when she could attend reunions. We wish her peace. Linda and Charles Nelms
From a high school friend and admirer, my sincere sympathy to Becky’s family and all those who loved her. She was a beautiful person and a joy to all who knew her.
May the God of peace comfort you in the days and months to come.
With a heavy heart I send my condolences to Becky’s children and family. I graduated with Libby and went home with Libby after school many days. We had such fun times in the 1960’s at A.C.Reynolds and Becky and Libby were two of the prettiest classmates we had the thrill of being with.
Words are inadquate at trying to convey our sorrow and trying to understand the health problems these precious girls had to face in this life. Heaven sure has two beautiful angels, that is for sure.
With much love to all, Dianne Burleson Phillips Class of 1965

Such a loss of a beautiful and caring person. The Lord can now enjoy that person. My heart goes out to all her family and friends.
My sincere sympathy to this family upon the loss of another loved one. I knew Libby the best as we were in the same Class of 1965; both Becky and Libby were truly beautiful girls in so many ways!

Becky was the beautiful upperclassman when I started school at AC Reynolds. I’ll always remember her for her radiant smile and kindness to me–a little freshman! May God bless her family and friends with the warmth of His love and the smiles that memories of Beckly will always bring!
Dear Ponder Family,
It is with sadness that I have learned of the passing of both of the Snipes girls of Reynolds High School. It is with fondness that I remember those beautiful young ladies, not only were they liked by their peers and voted into positions of honor, but they were also good students.
May their beautiful memories remain with you thru the years.
God bless and keep you and give you comfort in this time of sorrow.
Love in Christ,
Ethel T. Jacobson
To Becky’s Family,
I am saddened to learn of Becky’s passing. I went to Reed Memorial, Oakley Elementary, and AC Reynolds with the family.
The Snipes Family was always kind, caring members of the Oakley Community. They were all beautiful inside and out.
May God and the words that others have expressed about Becky and her family help to sustain and strengthen you in the days ahead.
Mother (Kitty Johnson) and I would like to express our sadness upon hearing about Becky’s passing. We have wonderful memories of this sweet family and the special joy they shared with each of us. Our thoughts and prayers are with all their family and friends.
