Rebecca Suzanne Watren, lovingly known as Becky, passed away on March 14, 2026, at the age of 65. Becky was born on July 23, 1960, in Hondo, Texas. She was preceded in death by her parents, Richard S. Miller and Dorothy Eleanor (Ham) Miller. Becky is survived by her beloved husband, Paul Joseph Watren Jr.; her brother, Ralph Samuel Miller; her loving in-laws; nieces and nephews; and many extended family members and dear friends who will carry her memory forward. Becky spent her early years in Hondo before moving with her family to San Antonio, where she graduated from Highlands High School. She went on to attend Sul Ross State University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in English in 1983. She built a meaningful and wide-ranging career, initially in laboratory testing, education, and administrative roles before starting her 25-year career in Human Resources at AT&T. Becky approached her work with dedication and integrity, retiring on July 23, 2025, after many years of loyal service. To know Becky was to know kindness in action. She had a generous heart and a deep compassion for people and animals. Over the years, she opened her home and her heart to children in need through the Big Brother Program and Movie-Night with The Salvation Army. And, she rescued countless stray cats and dogs, giving them safety, care, and love. Her quiet acts of kindness made a lasting difference in the lives she touched. Becky found joy in life’s simple pleasures: playing softball, getting lost in Regency novels, experimenting in the kitchen, and sharing her witty and insightful commentary on fashion in movies and television. She was a wonderful storyteller with a keen wit and a wicked sense of humor. She could find humor in almost anything and her blunt and honest insights will be missed. She will be remembered as a devoted wife, a loving sister and sister-in-law, a funny and warm-hearted aunt, and a loyal friend. Her presence brought comfort, laughter, and love to those around her, and she will be deeply missed. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 28th at 11:00 am Mission Park Funeral Chapels South, 1700 SE Military Drive, San Antonio, TX 78214 Link for Livestream: https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/mf-fwp/private/watren_20260328.html [s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com] In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Becky’s memory to The Salvation Army or a local animal rescue organization of your choice.
