Becky was an amazing co-worker, with the best smile and laugh of anyone I have known. Her kindness and patience will always be her legacy. Doug, our hearts are with you in this tough time.
I am so saddened to hear this news of Becky’s passing. Becky and I graduated high school together and I sang at her wedding. I didn’t see her often but when I did, she always had a smile and spoke of how good life was. She was simple, kind and will be dearly missed. Prayers to Becky’s family and friends for peace and comfort in this time of loss.
Becky was a GREAT co-worker and person. Doug, hang in there and know you have LOTS of people thinking of you and Becky. Becky was strong during her battle and will be missed by all she worked work with at Wilson, her family and especially her grand kids that she adored. RIP.
I have had the privilege and honor of working and becoming acquainted with both Becky and Doug during my years at Wilson Tool. Two of the nicest people I have ever met. Becky’s knowledge, dedication, and demeanor will be sorely missed. Sincere condolences to Doug.
We were so saddened to hear of Becky’s passing. She was terrific to work with as well as a really great person. We will miss her sense of humor and laughter! Our sincere condolences to her family.

I have only been with Wilson Tool for about 2 ½ years, but Becky was one of the first people that I worked with when I started, and I have fond memories of our time spent together. She was very knowledgeable and always kind, helpful, patient, and supportive in getting me up to speed on Wilson Tool Finance processes. We continued working together until some of her final days at Wilson and she continued to have a positive attitude, was still dedicated, and still cared about the work going on at Wilson. I will always remember her bright smile, fun laugh, and kindness. I haven’t met you yet Doug but know that I am thinking about you and your family and sending my deepest condolences and prayers for peace and comfort in her loving memory. She was one of the good ones!
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Doug and Erin and Aydan and Wilma. You were all blessed to have Becky a part of your lives on a daily basis.
I was lucky enough for about the last 40 years. She was a great friend, daughter, wife,
mother, and grandmother. You will be truly missed. Your sweet smile and great laugh will always be deep in my heart. When we got together we laughed like little girls and acted like we’ve never been apart. Hang tough everyone and remember all of our great times with Becky! We love you 💗💗💗
I graduated with Becky but did not know her very well. My prayers to her family for peace and comfort!
Dear Becky, you were such a special person. Right from our first meeting as a member of our accounting group I noticed you. You were a very hard worker and committed to doing the right thing. Over the years you became my number one staff member. Your willingness to learn new things, accept responsibility, and stay until the job was done. God blessed you with so many gifts and you were willing to share them with everyone around you. I feel so humbled and thankful that we crossed paths at Wilson Tool. Our years working together were a true blessing. You were trustworthy and confident. You excelled in every task given to you. We become very close friends and I consider that friendship so special. I thank God for bring you into my life. I know that you fought hard during your illness. I also know that God has taken you home but you will never be forgotten here on earth.
Ciao Becky!
We have never met, but it was great to work with you.
My sincere condolences to the whole family.
Courage! Becky will always live in your hearts
Becky was a great person and it was an honor and pleasure working with her.
We spent some time together in Italy when she visited the plant and we will always remember her as the kind and positive person she was.
We were lucky enough to work with Becky on a project for the Italian plant and her commitment and dedication were remarkable.
She has always been present for us to help.
This is a very sad moment.

Pessoalmente não nos conhecemos, mas tínhamos um grande carinho e respeito através dos e-mails, é com muita tristeza que recebemos essa noticia de sua partida, mas o que realmente importa é tudo que foi construído por ela nesse mundo, a família, os amigos, os animais que foram adorados por ela.
Este é um momento de muita reflexão.

Doug, words can’t describe what you’re going through now. I’m so grateful to have spent some special time with you both, you’re an incredible couple. Let’s take the boat out soon, reach out if you need anything. John
Thanks for the time. You will be missed. We had our Wilson Tool annual picnic in White Bear Lake today. It’s a time to celebrate for those that make Wilson a great company, both it’s also a time to remember those that have left. Becky was a huge contributor to the company whether doing her work in accounting, helping at employee and company events, or just sitting around helping me with my shooting skills. You will be missed. Yes, she was quiet and shy, but she left big shoes to fill. Thank you for the time.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you Doug and your family! Remember we are neighbors so if you ever need anything little or big! Hold onto all those special memories!
