In Loving Memory of
Becky Neal Dionne
On December 23rd, our community lost a beautiful light. Becky Neal Dionne passed away after a courageous three-year battle with ovarian cancer, following her victory over breast cancer 17 years ago. Through it all, Becky remained strong, positive, and full of grace.
Becky loved Chautauqua Park, where she worked and shared her deep knowledge of its history and natural beauty. A true nature lover and valued member of the Chautauqua Garden Club, she brought warmth, kindness, and joy to everyone she met.
Becky will always be remembered for her gentle spirit, love of nature, and unwavering strength.
God bless you, Becky. You will be deeply missed.
