To all of Becky's family and many friends I would like to express my deepest sympathy. I was a nursing school classmate and she will be remembered by me and many others. Her funeral service was a wonderful tribute to her life. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Becka - Just a note to say how much I liked your Mom. She and your Dad opened your Sullivan's Island house to all of us who were "occasional choir" singers. We had a great time drinking wine and trying to sing to the Lord! May your Mom rest in peace. Alzheimer's is a horrible disease and I pray for break throughs for prevention and cure. Our best to you, your siblings and spouses, children, and extended family. God's peace, Gene and Joe Smith

Becky adopted me and many other friends into the Buxton family over the years. She loved her family fiercely, and was an exceptional entertainer. I remember she always loved a good glass of wine and fried shrimp from Locklears! I will remember her in my heart forever. Praying for peace as the family mourns the loss of this beautiful lady.
