Becky A. Errington passed through the valley of the shadow of death to meet her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Oct. 11, 2019 at 5 p.m.
Becky lived with breast cancer for more than 11 years – which many people did not know the seriousness of her health condition because of her adventurous and happy spirit which the Lord sustained her with.
She is survived by her friend, Nancy Crosby, mother, Beverly Errington, sisters, Jane MacDonald and husband Peter, Heidi Getchell and husband Howard, and brother, Kevin Errington and wife Ellen, nephews, Christopher Smith and wife Laurie, Jason Errington-Smith and partner William Wing, Nicholas Getchell and wife Cate, and nieces, Erin Talbot and husband Josh, Amanda Getchell and partner Russel Whitten, Aisha Errington and Angelea Errington, and many great nieces and nephews that loved her dearly – as well as many close and dear friends.
Becky graduated from Mexico High School class of ’68 and graduated from New Brunswick Bible Institution in Canada in ’71. Most of her career she was a computer programmer working at Emery Waterhouse, Infotech and BCGI in the Portland area. Becky’s last 5 days were spent at Androscoggin Hospice where in the few days, there were more than a hundred folks who came to visit as well as many calls and texts to have one more visit, one more talk, one more time to say good bye, to have one special Becky smile.
Becky loved life – making maple syrup, ATV riding, traveling, fly fishing, hiking, wood-working, sailing, playing ukulele with The Merry Plinksters group and being at camp with all her family.
Her most important decision in her life was the day as a young teen she gave her heart to her Lord Jesus and accepted Him as Savior. She knew she was going to heaven because of Christ’s work and gift to her. What made Becky so special was that new spirit which was given her. The light that Jesus brought to her heart drew folks to her. She made it a financial priority that as many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews got to church camp or camp Good News to learn about Jesus Christ and the same saving power for their lives.
Proceeding her in death is her dad, Leon Errington and nephew Kevin Errington.
