bur: Chapel Hill Cemetery, Grand Rapids, Kent Co, MI
Daily Democrat, Clinton, MO - Becky Joy Abney of Palmyra, Michigan went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, Oct. 13, 1993 at Motts Children's Hospital, Ann Arbor, Michigan, after a two year long battle with leukemia. She was born June 15, 1977 in Dallas, Tx., to Gary and Debby Abney. Becky was a straight A sophomore at Lenawee Christian School where she played the flute in band and was an active participant in her youth group at Ogden Community Bible Church where her father is pastor. She flashed a contagious smile and greatly loved her many friends. She enjoyed exploring new ideas, often questioning her teachers as to the why and wherefore on many subjects. She liked to tease and baffle her doctors, like lying on a squeaky toy and making it squeak when her doctor would come in to check her lungs. When she lost her hair due to chemo she never tried to cover up with a wig, taking the loss in stride. She continued to bolster up her family and friends to the very end. a few years ago she had learned some sign language in order to converse with a friend. After suffering a paralyzing stroke in her last week, she was able to move her right hand enough to communicate with her parents telling them, "I love you." Through the two years of ups and downs, she never once blamed God for her illness. Surviving are her parents, Gary and Deb and her brother Eric; grandparents and family in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area and grandparents Howard and Wilma Abney, great-grandmother Beulah Abney, two uncles, Tom and Marvin Abney, one aunt, Susan Carter, great-grandmother, Nellie Hoover, Lee's Summit, and many others who knew and loved her. Becky's funeral was held at the Christian Family Center auditorium Saturday, October 16. Burial was in Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens, Grand Rapids.
