Rebecca was preceded in death by her grandfathers, Boyce Batchelor and Richard Thomasson, and her dear friend, Cindy Hulsey. Becky was a full time member of Hichory Plains Missionary Baptist Church. She loved her church family and enjoyed working in church. She wanted to learn more about God's word and recently began attending Gethsemane Bible Institute. She understood the importance of putting God first in her life. Becky was happiest when she was around her children. Her happiest moments were spent going to football, baseball, and basketball games and cheering on her boys. No matter if she was wiping noses, helping with home work, bandaging cuts and scrapes, or snuggling together on the couch, she did it with a smile. Becky was so much more than a great mom, she was also the greatest wife, daughter, sister, aunt and friend anyone could ask for. Funeral services will be 2 p.m. Saturday, August 10, 2013 at Hickory Plains Missionary Baptist Church and burial will be in the Hickory Plains Cemetery. Donations for the Burroughs family can be made at Bancorpsouth in Hazen and the Carlisle Banking Center, Bank of England in Carlisle. Arrangements are by Westbrook Funeral Home of Hazen.
