Becky Anne Senske 58, passed away on November 3, 2025, at St. Joseph’s hospital Phoenix AZ.

Becky was gifted to the world by God born with her twin sister Bethany in Maras, Peru on January 10, 1967. Their mother died giving them birth and they were placed for adoption. They were given through adoption and the grace of God to David and Iona Senske. David and Iona were wonderful parents that while not able to have children of their own opened their hearts, minds and home to their adopted children who in addition to Becky and Bethany included Brent as well as numerous foster children and others that would just stop into a home that was always open to children and anyone who wanted to have some time and a chat about our Lord.

Becky and Bethany were able to return to Peru in 1994. During this trip the Good Lord chose to bless them by allowing them to meet their birth father and five of their other siblings.

Becky gave all she had in life to others; however, her nieces and nephews were of the greatest importance. She is interceding for all of them with her sister Bethany we hope and pray and can only think of how she is asking God himself to take care of Justin (Chanelle), Brightin (Mariel), Joseph, Samuel, Anneliese and Sophia. Add to that there is an ongoing adoption of Artur from Ukraine who Becky took as a nephew the day she met him. It is our firm belief that her concern for the nieces and nephews can only be outweighed by the great nieces and nephews who she has loved and freely given her humble heart to any time she was given the chance. She loved watching or listening to Augustus, Lincoln, Xaiver, Octavian, Estrella, and Josiah.

Becky has a true and devout love of our Lord Jesus Christ, and her trust is in him she was blessed by family at the end of this pilgrim’s journey by each of them in special ways.

Becky lived with Scott (Iryna) who was married to Bethany prior to her passing in 2021. They were fortunate to have Jimmy Joe move and join them from California. Becky used to say that Jimmy Joe was the life in any family gathering and they would pick on each other in a big sister little brother fashion.

Her surviving brother Brent (Heather) was her joy, he and his wife Heather were always looking forward to time with her and listening to her stories about the children and Jimmy Joe. Brent in the last six months really stepped into help with Becky with things she was struggling with, and she was so overjoyed to have the help of her baby brother.

It is so very hard to convey in the written word about a woman who cared not for the world but for the Lord and the people in her life. She never complained, she was never angry, she was always forgiving and willing to share her time and talents with anyone even if they have just met. Oh, dear Lord thank you for a gift of one such as Becky because through her you blessed Brent, Jimmy Joe, Justin, Brightin, Joseph, Samuel, Anneliese, Sophia (Squirrel) and in a special way Artur as well as Scott and Iryna and countless others. She is maybe best summed up by a simple statement that Iryna made “I have never met anyone so kind and caring in all my life”.

Visitation for Becky will be held at Anderson Diehm Funeral Home in Stephenson on Friday November 14, 2025 from 11:00 am until time of funeral service at 12:00 noon with Loren Anderson officiating. Burial will follow in Mellen Township Cemetery.

Rest in peace Aunt/Sister/friend Beaker (Becky) and may the love of our Lord shine upon you always.
