Memorial website in the memory of your loved one
This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Becky DeVore who was born in Michigan on January 06, 1985 and passed away on April 19, 2003 at the age of 18. We will remember her forever. She is still in all of our hearts and minds everyday. We miss you so much. Becky chose to take her own life out of despair and a series of terrible events. At the time it seemed that she was experiencing the normal up and downs of a teenager but we learned that she had been alienated by her closest friends when she needed them the most. Being very sensitive it left her alone and vulnerable to bullying and bad influence in school who chewed her up because she had nowhere and no one to turn too. We look at the happy lives of the friends left behind and wonder why this had to be. She wanted to be everyone's friend not just a small group and no one understood this about her and never accepted it. Our family struggles very hard to this day. Becky left behind wonderful brothers who she had such a positive influence on and they dearly miss her.

Becky's words 9 years later   / DaddyO DeVore (Father)

Love and death   / DaddyO DeVore (Father)

Her legacy
Becky Eizabeth DeVore  
The legacy that Becky leaves behind is the legacy of an undying belief that she could help everyone who was in her short life with friendship and a soft shoulder to cry on. She defined her whole existence on helping others with no regard to the pain it caused her. She thought that the only way to happiness was to solve all of her friend’s problems and provide love and compassion to all. Becky took the world upon her shoulders without regard to herself.

Her spirit filled the halls of her school John Glenn and everyone that knew her and loved her. She was so popular not because of her looks but because she cared about everyone.

She found out in the final months of her life that all of the love and friendship she gave out did not cushion her against the cruelties in life. It did not matter if you were a good person or mean, self centered and cruel she would give of herself no matter what. She truly believed the love she gave could change people from bad to good from sad to happy. 

She sought out people that she knew were in trouble and had callous personalities in hopes of showing them that things could change and you did not have to walk in the darkness. She lived for only one thing and that was the happiness of others. This was more then any 18-year-old children should take upon themself. She had all the wonderful qualities of a saint. 

We miss and love her so much.

We Love You Becky Elizabeth DeVore
