Tributes
"My mother was a cousin of Becky's father. I am saddened to hear of another Hiday passing. Would love to hear from other Hidays in the Anderson area. My grandfather was Everett Calvin Hiday, son of Mila Ellen Nibarger Hiday and Calvin Hiday. I would love to know more about this family and the rich heritage that they have passed on to so many family members over the past two centuries."
"Sending our sincerest condolences to Becky's family. Becky was a classmate of mine at Hartford City High School, Class of'59. We have remained friends throughout the years and we will surely miss her. A group of we classmates have been getting together for breakfast once a month for several years now. We make plans for our class reunions and mostly reminesce and hear about everyones current family news and sometimes a little gossip. Becky was a dear friend and very much loved by all of us."
"My former husband (Fred Santilli) and I had many visits from Becky and Bill in Colorado many years ago. We always went camping when we all slept on the ground and fixed dinner and breakfast over an actual campfire. We had so many very good times which I still treasure. Pat"
"From school days, I remember Becky as being a soft-spoken, intelligent, hard-working, lovely person who overcame personal obstacles and still managed to help others as well."
