In 1953, her family moved to Wallowa County, a change that would shape not only the course of her life, but also the life of the community she came to love so deeply. From the moment she arrived, Becky’s warmth, energy, and unmistakable spirit made her an integral part of the place she proudly called home.

As a student at Enterprise High School, Becky was known for her enthusiasm, her friendliness, and her willingness to jump into anything that brought people together. She was active in Pep Club, Future Homemakers of America, the Joseph 4-H Club, and Rainbow Girls. Summers found her at the Wallowa Lake Corral, helping visitors experience the Wallowa Mountains she treasured. A gifted horsewoman, Becky represented Wallowa County with grace and pride, serving as Chief Joseph Days Rodeo Queen in 1954 and later as a Lewiston Round-Up Princess in 1957.

Our Story

Loveland Funeral Chapel has been serving the Grande Ronde Valley since 1922. The funeral home was originated by the Snodgrass and Zimmerman families, and was later run by the Dempsey, Coffey and Payne families. In October of 1999, Kevin Loveland purchased the funeral home. In the year 1999, we served 70 families. Last year we served almost 200 families. The reason for our growth is that we promise to give each and every family absolute unparalleled service. We will assist you in creating the most personal and meaningful tribute to your loved one to commemorate the life that was lived. We acknowledge that we cannot make the pain go away, but together we can make the journey of grief less lonely and a little easier.
