Becky Renae Robeson

Becky Renae Buls Robeson entered this world on July 9, 1957, completing a loving family of five. She was the youngest of three daughters born to Don and Lea Wilcox Buls, who were overjoyed to raise their three sweet girls in a home filled with love, laughter, and traditions that would shape Becky’s life for years to come.

Becky’s childhood was filled with adventure and togetherness. Her father, Don, had a love for travel and created countless memories by taking the family on the road. From camping trips in a pop-up camper to adventures in a travel trailer and eventually a Travco motorhome, their journeys became treasured family stories. Because Becky’s birthday fell during the summertime, she often celebrated in memorable places such as Rapid City and Mount Rushmore, Lake Okoboji, and Colorado. One of her most cherished memories was spending Christmas on Sanibel Island, Florida, where she delighted in collecting seashells and began a collection she treasured throughout her life.

Family was always at the heart of Becky’s upbringing. Friday nights were reserved for “Family Fun Night,” a tradition filled with laughter and togetherness. Her mother, Lea, was a devoted homemaker and an incredible cook and baker. Coming home from school to the smell of fresh caramel cinnamon rolls was a joy the girls never forgot. Becky inherited her mother’s love of baking and carried that gift into adulthood, finding happiness in preparing treats that brought people together.

As the years passed, Becky and her sisters built lives and families of their own, but they remained close, gathering often to celebrate birthdays, Christmases, and life’s many milestones. Becky treasured time spent with those she loved and believed some of life’s greatest moments were found around the dinner table, on a road trip, or simply enjoying one another’s company.

In recent years, Becky embraced a beautiful season of renewed adventure and connection. She enjoyed traveling to visit family and exploring new destinations, including Colorado, California, Texas, Mexico, the coast of Maine, and a Caribbean cruise. Whether attending a Colorado Rockies baseball game, exploring the Gulf Coast, seeing the Golden Gate Bridge for the first time, or celebrating her son’s wedding in Kennebunkport, Maine, Becky approached each experience with genuine excitement, gratitude, and wonder. She especially treasured opportunities to gather over a meal, believing the best conversations happened around the table.

Wherever life took her, Becky had a remarkable ability to form lasting friendships. She embraced life fully and found deep connection with those around her. During her final months at Aviva Woodlands, she quickly formed meaningful friendships and became a beloved presence among both residents and staff. Her kind heart, gentle spirit, welcoming smile, and genuine warmth made everyone feel at ease. It was clear to all who knew her that she was deeply loved and truly cherished.

Becky blossomed beautifully in her later years, and it brought great happiness to those who loved her to see her so surrounded by friendship and joy. She will be remembered for her kindness, resilience, generous heart, and appreciation for life’s simple blessings. She loved deeply, gave freely, and found happiness in family, friendship, travel, baking, and creating meaningful memories. Her warmth and gentle spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Becky is survived by her daughter, Amanda (Kyle) Krueger of Dallas, Texas; her sons, Mark (Evan) Meston of Salt Lake City, Utah, and Noah Robeson of Lincoln, Nebraska; her beloved grandchildren, Lauren and Matthew; her sisters, Nancy Hamer and Holly Murdoch; her nieces and nephews, Natalie Wimer, Hannah Murdoch, Jared Wimer, Chris Hamer, and Reid Murdoch; her great-nieces, Meghan Townsend and Paisley George; and many beloved cousins whose lives were enriched by knowing her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Don and Lea Wilcox Buls.
