Becky cut hair for my whole family for the past 12 years. I have always hated going to get my hair cut because not many people can cut curly hair well and because the conversations can be so awkward. But with Becky, I never had to worry about my hair and I always enjoyed our conversations. We compared our recent bargains from Goodwill and talked about our children. I am so sorry for your loss. I know her family meant the world to her. Thinking of you at this difficult time.

My heart was broken yesterday when I learned that we had all lost Becky. I first met Becky in 1985, shortly after moving to Bon Air, when I wandered into Diane’s Family Hair Styling with my one year old daughter in tow, looking for a haircut. Starting with that chance meeting, for the next 35 years, I have gotten to know and care for Becky, not just as my hairstylist, but as my friend. Becky taught me a lot about how to manage my hair, but I also learned so much more from her about how to live a good life. In addition to her expert abilities to style hair, her excellent listening skills made each customer who came into her shop feel special and important. She would remember details of conversations from previous visits and always made it a point to follow up and ask about things that she knew were important to her customer. It only took a few quiet words and her wonderful deep laugh to put a smile on the face of everyone who ever sat in her chair. Becky was always patient and respectful with all of her clients from many walks of life and I often witnessed her going quietly out of her way to accommodate her customers who were elderly, very young, or had special needs. She was a sweet and positive influence on my three (now adult) children who always looked forward to their childhood visits to Becky for their haircuts and the sweet treats that she always had waiting for them at the end. Becky and I have laughed together in good times and supported each other in harder times, as we watched each other’s families grow and thrive. I remember how impressed I was when, as a young single woman, Becky bought her first home all on her own and later, how happy she was when she met David and then started her married life with him. I think she was most happy though, when “Little” David was born and she became a mother. Becky and I had many conversations over the years about motherhood and how important our children and grandchildren were to both of us. I always felt privileged when Becky would share stories with me about her large extended family and how proud she was of each one. She truly did love her family. I am so, so sorry for your loss and can only imagine how much you will miss her. Please accept the condolences of the entire Hershner family at this sad, sad time for all

To David Sr., Son David and family,
I just learned of Becky’s passing at 4:15 pm. I am in shock; however, I wanted to tell you how very sorry I am for this tragedy. Becky used her professional beauty skills to keep my appearances professional for 10 years. She meant the world to me as a friend and I loved her dearly. My prayers go out to the family as you grieve the loss of such a beautiful and special person. Tears roll down my face as I make this comment. God bless you all. My Sincere Condolences. All My Love, Terry Satterwhite (My heart breaks for everyone that knew her as she left this earth way too soon.)

Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss.
A friend recommended Becky to me when I was looking for a hairdresser. I knew as soon as I sat in the chair I would be going back.
Becky made you feel comfortable straight away and not only did I look forward to going for a much needed haircut but I also had a great time, just chatting about everything going on and having a good laugh.
Becky was so proud of all her family especially her son and often talked about him and her husband, they were her world.
I hope all the happy memories you have of Becky will help with your sadness. She will definitely be missed by so many.
