Robecca Anntionett Garrett, known lovingly as Becky, was born on March 29, 1972, in Muskogee, Oklahoma, and she passed away on March 22, 2026, in Eufaula, Oklahoma.
She lived her life as a faith-filled Christian woman whose presence carried warmth, encouragement, and quiet strength. Becky’s life on this earth came to a close through drowning and heart attack while saving 2 of her grandchildren from drowning, yet her story does not end in sorrow, for she leaves behind a legacy of love, devotion, and steadfast faith that will continue to speak in the hearts of all who knew her.
Becky was the beloved daughter of the late Debra Kirkes and the cherished granddaughter of Ruthy Rodgers. She was also deeply connected to her uncle, David, and to a wide circle of family members who knew her as someone who loved without condition and gave without hesitation. Her life was shaped by family, and she held those bonds close to her heart. Even in seasons of difficulty, she remained a woman who looked for the good in others and extended grace where it was needed most. She was known by many as selfless and loving, and those words reflect the beautiful way she lived each day.
Above all, Becky treasured being a mother. Her children were an important part of her life and identity, and she poured her heart into them with tenderness and devotion. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Alisha Parks. She is survived by her daughter, Marissa Michl, and grandchildren Logan and Alice; her daughter, Kayla Freeman/Stalter, and grandchildren Abigail, Sophia, Trinity, and Malachi; and her daughter, Delaney Freeman/cousins, and grandchildren Athena, Lilith, and Sebastian.
She also leaves behind many long-lost family members who were blessed to reconnect with her and remember the love that had always lived within her spirit. Becky’s love reached beyond bloodlines, because she made family through kindness, loyalty, and the deep compassion that marked her life.
Becky found joy in the simple, meaningful things that made a house feel like home and a life feel full. She loved ranch work and found purpose in caring for the world around her with steady hands and a willing heart. She enjoyed gardening, a reflection of the patience and care she carried in her soul, as she nurtured life and watched it grow. She also loved exploring her family tree, cherishing the stories and roots that helped shape her identity. Yet among all her interests and all the ways she spent her time, nothing compared to being with her family. That was truly her favorite place to be, and those moments will remain treasured memories for everyone blessed to share them.
Her faith in Christ was central to who she was. Becky believed in God’s promises and trusted in His mercy, even when life was hard. She carried herself with a spirit that pointed others toward hope, and she encouraged those around her to keep going, to keep believing, and to keep trusting in God’s plan. She was the kind of woman who reminded others that love is stronger than fear and that faith can carry a soul through every valley. Her life reflected the truth of Proverbs 31:25, which says, “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” Becky lived with a strength that was not loud but lasting, and with dignity that touched every room she entered.
Those who knew Becky will remember her gentle heart, her loving nature, and the way she made people feel seen and valued. She was faith-filled in her walk, selfless in her actions, and loving in her spirit. She leaves behind more than memories, because she leaves behind an example. She showed that a life rooted in faith can bless generations, that love can be a testimony, and that even in hardship, a person can leave a light behind. Her journey on earth was precious, and her life served as a reminder that every act of kindness matters and every prayer is heard.
Though Becky has gone from this earthly life, her influence remains alive in her children, grandchildren, family, and all who were blessed to know her. Her loved ones will carry forward the lessons she gave, the prayers she prayed, and the love she shared so freely. In the days ahead, may they find peace in the Lord who holds Becky now and comfort in the knowledge that her faith has become sight. As her earthly race is finished, her eternal rest is now in the hands of a faithful God who keeps His promises. “Do not be afraid of tomorrow, for God is already there.” This inspiring truth, often attributed to author and evangelist Billy Graham, reflects the hope Becky embraced and the comfort that now surrounds her memory. May her life continue to inspire all who remember her to love deeply, trust God fully, and live each day with faith, courage, and grace.
