Rebecca Sue Fairchild was born on February 20, 1960 in Wamego, KS to Billy and Rita Mae (Whitley) Fairchild. She was raised in Denison, TX where she graduated in 1978 from Denison High School. Following her graduation from high school, Becky enrolled and attended classes at Grayson College in Grayson County, TX. In 1979, Becky met the love of her life, Richard King. After just 8 months together, Richard and Becky were married and have been together for 41 years.

Becky took a position in radiology at Texoma Medical Center before relocating to OKC in 1985. She spent the next few years raising her two children, Shane and Amber. In 1985 the family moved to Mustang, OK but eventually settled in Newalla, OK in 1996. She spent a decade working in data entry for Fowler Productions in OKC. In the early 2000’s Becky accepted a position as an Admin Technologist with the OK State Dept. of Corrections. She made many wonderful friends during her 15+ years at the DOC and she loved the fact that over the past year she had the opportunity to work side-by-side with Amber. Becky was truly the glue that kept the office together. Becky’s bright smile and brilliant sense of humor helped instill a culture of kindness and comradery. Her can do attitude and feistiness made her easy to love and appreciate.

Becky was a loving and compassionate woman who loved to go camping. Becky loved the Lord and her faith and family were the cornerstones of her life. She was happiest when she was surrounded by Richard, her children, and grandchildren. She loved to take random road trips with her kids and grandkids and attending family reunions was always a cherished event. She was a loyal wife, a dedicated mother, a proud grandmother, a loving daughter, and a caring sister. Becky made more wonderful memories in her short 60 years than most people could make in 100 years. She left an unmistakable mark on the lives of those around her and she will certainly be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Becky was preceded in death by her sister Angela Bucher and her grandparents: Raymond and Minerva Fairchild and Floyd and Alma Whitley. Left behind to carry on Beck’s legacy of selfless compassion are her husband and best friend Richard King; two children: Shane King and Amber Gaynor; parents Billy and Rita Fairchild; four grandchildren: Tyler Parsons, Jordyn Parsons, Kloie Phillips, and Jace Gaynor; a sister Debbie Neasbitt; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and other beloved family members, friends, and co-workers.
