Becky was diagnosed with severe dementia yet, successfully managed her diabetes for 60, of her 75 years, of life. Becky, daughter of Almon and Phyllis Watson, of Industry, was born Sept. 7, 1943. Throughout her youth and teenage years, Becky was active in 4-H, showing Hereford steers. She continued her love and care for animals throughout her life. After graduation from Farmington High School, Becky married Gordon Probert of Strong, Sept. 2, 1961. Their daughter, Lynda, was born Sept. 12, 1962. Although Becky scuba dived, golfed, cross county skied, snowmobiled, and rode a motorcycle, her passion was sewing in her dedicated sewing room. Becky worked at Farmington Shoe, IGA, and Probert's Market in Strong. Even while working, Becky was an avid homemaker. She would always cook "from scratch" and loved to entertain. Becky knew the importance of a healthy diet. She realized Skowhegan needed a retail outlet that offered a source of healthy good food. As a result of this forward thinking, she opened The Good Food Store in 1979, until 1992. A few years later, she began working at Tissues Country Estates, Athens, as an Activities Coordinator and later, Administrator, until her retirement in 2007. Shortly after her divorce from Gordon in 1983, she fell in love with Kenneth, (Kenny) Johnson, of Fairfield, Conn. Together, they lived in Industry, Starks, and back to Industry after her father, Almon, passed in 2006. She and Kenny would spend time on their boat, appropriately named "Ken & Bec," in Harpswell and Moosehead Lake. The heartfelt care and devotion Kenny provided Becky during her illness is honorable and selfless. Becky loved spending time with her granddaughters, Madison and Juliana. She would often visit them in Las Vegas and always looked forward to their annual summer visits to Maine. Becky is survived by her eldest brother Elbridge Watson. She is predeceased by her younger brother, Dennis Watson. Becky is survived by her life partner, Ken Johnson, of Industry; brother and sister-in-law, Elbridge and Sandra Watson, of Industry; daughter Lynda Vogt, son-in-law Kevin; and granddaughters, Madison and Juliana of Napa Calif.; nieces, Sandra Hyde, of Industry, and Tammy Roscoe, of Waterville, nephew, Elbridge Watson of New Sharon; as well as grandnieces and grandnephews. Becky would not want us to mourn for her, but remember her kindness, generosity, forgiveness, unconditional love for all, and continue to "pay it forward". Family and friends are welcome to be part of her remembrance at Fairview Cemetery in Farmington. Cremation and Memorial Graveside service are in the care of Wiles Remembrance Center; Adams-McFarlane Chapel 137 Farmington Falls Road, Farmington, ME.
