April 14, 1931 – May 27, 2020

On Wednesday, May 27, 2020 Rebecca Mae Jones went to be with the Lord, due to complications from Alzheimer’s. Born in Minocqua, Wisconsin, Becky lived many places including Chicago, Yakima, Sunnyside and Spokane, settling in Moses Lake in 1970. Becky was a great cook and cooked at the Turf Cafe for many years and at Terrace Heights, but mostly loved cooking for her family and was famous for her biscuits and gravy.

Becky was born to Francis Slavey Goode and Henry Goode on April 14, 1931. She was preceded in death by William Engel, Jack Anderson and Earl Jones; two daughters Cheryl Oneal and Becky Anderson and goddaughter Bobbie Quick; son-in-law Russell Bessler; two brothers and one sister. She is survived by her children Ed Engel (Lois), Patricia Bessler (Russell), Dorothy Payne (Patrick), Jackie Pope (Jim), Marti Hughes (Glen) and Terry Anderson (Cindy); 20 grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, six great-great-grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. She was deeply loved and will be missed by many. By her request, there will be no services, but a memorial is set for July if possible.
