400th WAAC-WAC Band∼I lost the dearest person in my life on February 2, 2012. When I walked into her room on that Thursday, it was obvious she had died during her sleep. I am so thankful her transition was peaceful and painless. Today is July 28, 2018 more then six years since you left. Becky joined the Army in 1942 and was stationed at Fort DesMoines, Iowa with the 400th WAAC/WAC Band. They traveled all over America and Canada on recruiting and bonds drives. After leaving the military, Becky was invited to joined the Hormel all girls orchestra. Becky played the base drum was primarily a tenor saxophone player. All members of this orchestra were ex-military women. The orchestra also had a drum and bugle corp. They competed and paraded all over America. The orchestra had a radio program and cut many phonograph records. After leaving the Hormel Company, Becky and a friend opened a cafe in downtown Los Angeles called JUST US CAFE. It was open for early breakfast and lunch; closed about 3PM. After many rent hikes, the cafe closed and Becky was employed by the Postal Service in Los Angeles. After she retired, she became a world traveler. She flew on the Concorde and sailed on many ships, including the Queen Elizabeth 2. Becky made many trips to Europe and enjoyed all the travel time. Took Canada's AMTRAX across Canada and was stuck on train tracks in Sioux Falls after a blizzard closed the way. Another adventure she enjoyed as we were high, dry, warm and plenty of food on the train. Becky was a good woman. No one has ever loved their family more then Becky. She was also very proud of her Southern Heritage. We still miss you so much, Miss Soybean.
