Becky was a hard worker and had up to 3 jobs at any given time. She was also a woman of a thousand talents who loved to cook, bake, sew, embroider, crochet, and make dried arrangements and wreaths. Some of her most beautiful wreaths were displayed for many years in the Sunwest Bank Building in Espanola and the Onate Center in Alcalde.  One year she also had the privilege of sewing the outfits for the Matachines de Alcalde. She had a huge heart and always opened her home to those in need and was well known and respected throughout her community. In addition to being an amazing mother to her own children, she also served as a maternal figure and role model in the lives of many others. Cremation has taken place and services are pending at this time. The family of Becky Segovia has entrusted her care to the DeVargas Funeral Home and Crematory of Espanola Valley.
