She was born in Chandler, Arizona on September 17th, 1946, to Eleazar Escandon and Jesus “Chuey” Escandon (Orozco). Becky lived a life filled with love, laughter, and kindness. She was known for her wild personality, gentle demeanor and unwavering generosity.

She was a loving devoted wife of 56 years to Frank L. Marquez. A cherished mother to Dean Frank “Dino” and had an incredible bond with her daughter-in-law Josie Marquez. Becky raised two nieces, Lorraine (Bryan) Webster and Anna (Daniel) Munoz. She was a caring Nana to Dean “DJ,” Zachary (Jamie), Gabriel Marquez, Vanessa (Luis) Flores, Clemente “Duncan” Muñoz, Joshua and Chase Webster, Daniel “Neno” and Joseph Muñoz.

In her early years she worked for the Chandler Unified School District in the cafeteria. She then went on to work and retired after 17+ years with Morsch Machine. Becky enjoyed going out for breakfast, particularly eating her French toast and spending time with friends and family. In her pass time she would enjoy cooking, listening and dancing to oldies, and especially enjoyed going to the casino and eating her fish and chips.

After seven short months, Becky is now reunited with the love of her life Frank. She touched the lives of many and will be remembered fondly for her kindness, compassion, and gentle spirit. We will forever cherish the time we had with her and carry her memory with us each day. The family asks for prayers during this difficult time as we navigate life without her.
