Rebecca Presnall Pair

Rebecca Lynn Presnall Pair passed away on Tuesday, March 5, 2019 at the age of 60 from a long and courageous battle with kidney cancer.

Becky was born and raised in Lufkin and has spent the last 17 years in Wylie. She graduated from Lufkin High School and went on to graduate from Stephen F. Austin University with a degree in music. She was a member of her high school band, choir, theater, and twirling programs. In addition, she was very active in her church and music groups.

Becky was preceded in death by her parents James and Martha Nell Presnall, along with her father-in-law Kenneth Pair, Aunt Garvice Minard and sister-in-law Jimmie Lou Presnall. She is survived by her husband Keith Pair whom she married on November 6, 1993. Becky has two children, Ashlyn and Zach of Wylie. In addition, she is survived by her brother Scott Presnall and his wife Cheryl, mother-in-law Beverly Pair, brother-in-law Kirby Pair and wife Mary, sister-in-law Karla Pair along with numerous nieces and nephews.

Becky was a loving wife and mother who cherished spending time with her family. For many years, it was following Ashlyn and Zach to softball and baseball tournaments every weekend from before sun-up to midnight on many occasions. Our tournament travels took us to Florida many summers and Becky enjoyed the beach. As a result of our Florida travels, we continued to travel to Gulf Shores for family vacations. Becky was also a big fan of cruises.

She got more enjoyment from hosting and entertaining family and friends for holidays and celebrations. Becky loved to cook and bake but was not fond of the clean-up afterwards. But once the clean-up was done, Becky was one of the first to grab the board or card games and gather the family around the dining room table. She always was very selective of her team members because she played to win.

Becky was very passionate about her work. She spent her last 9 years as an Administrative Coordinator and Support for the VP of Development at UT Southwestern Medical Center. She had a great sense of humor and was very quick witted. Becky was also an accomplished singer.
Becky's personality, smile and love of life had a great impact on everyone she touched and will be missed by family and friends. The many memories Becky provided us will live on in our hearts.
