Obituary

Rebecca “Becky” Ann Horsman, 66, of Irving, TX passed away peacefully on Monday, June 17, 2019, with her family by her side. She was born August 8,1952 in Dallas, TX. Becky grew up in Irving, where she attended elementary school, Travis Junior High and was a 1972 graduate of Mac Arthur High School. She attended Mountain View Junior College for a year, then attended North Texas State University in Denton where she was only 16 hours shy of getting her Bachelor of Arts degree. She worked as Office Manager for Interstate Batteries in Arlington for many years until she retired in 2014. Becky loved music and enjoyed singing. She sang with the New Hope Singers at Plymouth Park Baptist Church in Irving and the Irving Opry. She played the piano and taught herself to play the guitar and banjo. She also loved to travel and write poetry; she won several awards for her poetry work. She made many good memories fishing with her family at Lake Texoma. Becky loved cooking and would always make more than enough to feed her family and friends. Usually when there was cooking there would be games. Some of her favorites games included 42, poker, Tripoly and Farkle but she was always willing to try something new. She also played online games with her siblings and family on her iPad. She loved attending Texas Rangers baseball games and watching them on television. She especially enjoyed watching old movies on the Turner Classic Movie channel. Christmas was her favorite holiday and sometimes she would even leave her Christmas tree up year round. She looked forward to spending time with her family and friends anytime she could. She loved any reason to celebrate! Becky was a beloved Sister, Aunt (NOA) and Gabby to her family as well as a friend of many. She will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Her smile, laugh and positive attitude was a joy to be around. Becky is survived by her sister Janet Watson of Euless; sister Terry and Steve Wood of Frisco, brother Robert and Leslie Horsman of Irving; nephew Michael and Jodie Cooper of Lewisville, nephew Todd and Kim Cooper of Euless, nephew Branson Horsman of Irving and great nephew and niece Tate and Kara Cooper. She also leaves behind many loving relatives and friends. She is preceded in death by her parents Albert and Charlie Horsman; grandparents Alvah and Rovelia Horsman and Harry and Parthenia “Dotty” Terry.

    Becky Horsman always had something Christmas visible in her home. She said, “it reminds me to have that joy all year long” That is why I also keep something Christmas visible in my home too. My parents brought all us kids back snow-globes from the 911 Memorial w/Santa & his sleigh flying by the Twin Towers. It is displayed year round in honor of all it represents.

    I tried to find Becky several months ago. Actually I have tried a few times but never found her. And now I read that she is gone from this life. I hope to see her again some day.

    Becky was always quick with a smile and a kind words. I’m very sorry to learn of her passing. She and her brother had recently been in my thoughts, particularly in regards to fishing. Rest easy.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
