Becky was one of the hardest working and most generous people I have ever met. She was truly "Old School" when it came to nursing, and every young doctor or medical resident should be required to spend time working with a nurse like her. She was a wonderful asset to me, very informative and very supportive. While I haven't seen her for years, I think of her often, and have fond memories of our time together.

I am so sorry to hear of Beckys passing. She was a wonderful, fun, spirited gal. We had some great times at Grand View shop parties!
Hugs to Carl and the family. Bill and I are thinking of you all. ❤

I'm so sorry for your loss. Becky was the happiest person I've ever been around or have worked with. She was also smartest nurse I've ever worked with. I remember the line dancing lessons we would go to (back in the day) with Carl and Christy. And the hours, quite literally, on the phone talking about our work, office, or basically nothing important at all. And I'll never forget her laugh. I hope you all find some comfort in the many memories. She was greatly loved by all.

So sorry to hear of Becky's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Becky was always someone who made you feel better by just being around her positive outlook on everything. Her smile would light up a room. May your happy memories, you guys have so many to remember, bring you comfort in the days ahead. She leaves a great legacy in her family and we know because of her great faith she is with the Lord. She will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her.

Sending prayers to the family
I always looked forward to seeing Becky and the Kusel family. Especially at the little league games where Becky was our teams biggest cheerleader
Loved her for taking good care of Kevin and me when we helped on the farms. Becky was first class.
