Becky was known for her faith in Jesus as her Savior, her unshakable belief in the power of prayer, her sense of humor, her love for her family and friends, and her wise Godly advice. Her favorite verse was James 6:15, "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much". Becky was a prayer warrior who prayed daily and specifically for those she loved. She was a faithful member of Abundant Life Baptist in Lee's Summit, MO. and First Baptist Church of Palmetto in Palmetto, Florida.

She found joy in spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved spending the winter in Florida with Roger and all of her "Florida Friends" and the summer in Kansas City with the "Adventure Club Friends".  She was a devoted sister to her brothers Tom Ruark and Mike Ruark as well as her sister Joyce Ruark. She will forever be remembered by her friends as someone who listened with compassion and shared her wise Biblical advice generously. Becky will forever remain in our hearts.
