Becky Barron Brown

Rebekah "Becky" Barron Brown, age 77, of Watkinsville, Georgia formerly of Demorest, Georgia passed away on Monday, April 14, 2025.

Ms. Brown was born on March 4, 1948 at the Charm House in Clarkesville, Georgia to the late John and Evelyn Ryals Barron. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her daughter-in-law, Lori Brown and her brother, Jim Barron.

She retired from Nissan after years of dedicated service. Following her retirement, she worked for Oconee Enterprise Newspaper. Beyond her professional achievements, Becky was known for her refined elegance and unwavering determination. She was a woman of strong will, yet her heart overflowed with love for her family. Her greatest joy in life was caring for her mother and later, her beloved siblings, whom she cherished dearly. Becky had a zest for life that was evident in her diverse interests. She had a passion for travel, exploring new places near and far. Her collections of antiques and travel spoons were an enjoyment from trips all over. A devoted sports enthusiast, she could often be found cheering passionately for the Georgia Bulldawgs or engrossed in the excitement of the Masters. Above all, Becky's family held the most significant place in her heart. Becky was a loving mother and nurturer to her children with unwavering care and guidance. To her grandchildren, she was a precious "grandmother" who showed them affection, love and wisdom. Her great-grandchildren knew her as "Gram," who always had a warm embrace and a smile to share.
