Shepard, Rebecca “Becky” L., age 76, of Kettering, passed away on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton. Becky was born on May 10, 1949, in Dayton, Ohio, the daughter of the late Loren James Hopkins and Emma “T Read Obituary
It had became a lovely connection knowing Becky. She was an incredible mother-in-law to our daughter, always welcoming their visits and developing a love for our mutual grandchildren. Becky was a wonderful hostess to anyone who visited her home, near and far. Her talents and enthusiasm will be missed by many. Prayers remain for those she leaves behind.
I met Becky in 1985 at Fairview Intermediate school where we both taught Language Arts.
We kept in touch and often shared a meal of liver and onions at MCL.
Becky had a kind spirit and will greatly be missed.
So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was a wonderful lady, and I really enjoyed my time working with her in Kettering. I really miss going to McCormick & Schmick’s and enjoying fried oysters with her. I know she was very proud of both of you.
One of, if not the best teachers I have ever had. I now get to teach where she taught me and I received a letter from her almost every year wishing me a great school year! She will be missed!
