Rebecca Lea “Becky” Hinkle was born in the Panama Canal Zone on March 25, 1953, to Alfred Burke Hinkle and Eunice Rebecca “Bonnie” Hinkle Sebren. She passed away into God’s loving arms on February 7, 2018, at the age of 64 years, 10 months, and 12 days. Becky attended Alva Public Schools, graduating in 1971. She was united in marriage to Mark Schnebel and they had one daughter, Ferran Micaiah Schnebel. Growing up, Becky was active in school activities, Rainbow for Girls, and enjoyed many friends. She always cherished the friendships of her youth. Becky had a special talent of always wrapping beautiful Christmas presents. She enjoyed playing family poker, always wearing a funny hat. In 1982 Becky moved to the state of Washington where she later married Jeff Burns. While in Washington, Becky came to love the Pacific Northwest. She loved clamming, fishing, digging oysters, and crabbing. She especially enjoyed showing visitors the beauty of Washington. One time while on the beach, she burst out singing, “This is God’s Country?” She actually had a terrific voice. Becky had an eye for decorating also, she could work magic with any room! She loved raising flowers and decorating her home with many colorful hanging pots. Becky made the best potato salad, not just a family opinion, but one shared by many who had eaten it. She was thoughtful in her gift giving; her nephews loved the “Becky gifts.” Becky had a sense of humor that would peek out at the most unexpected times. Becky was preceded in death by her father and mother, A. B. Hinkle and Bonnie Sebren, and her step-father, Joseph Sebren. Becky is survived by her daughter, Ferran Micaiah Weese and husband, Tyler, of Blackwell; grandsons, Tanner Weese and Hannah, and Braden Weese; sisters, Mika Cahoj and husband, Jeff, and Donna Fearing and husband, Dave; nephews David Burke Fearing and wife, Erin, and Michael Joseph Fearing and wife, Sarah. During the last two years, she called Beadles Nursing Home “home.” She met many new friends there. Her New Year’s resolution this year was to talk to someone she didn’t ordinarily talk to. What a great resolution! Becky was the heart of the family. She will be remembered as a kind, tender hearted soul. She will be missed. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Beadles Nursing Home.
