| Notes From her celebration of life service in Austin on September 2, 2009: Texas has lost one of her proudest daughters, Becky Jo Biard. Born in Paris, Texas on October 16, 1951, Becky was a cowgirl/artist/teacher/mother/singer/music lover who brought spirited inspiration to her friends and students. She passed away in her sleep at her home in Austin in the early morning hours of August 26, 2009. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Southwest Texas State University in 1974 and since that time has worked as an art teacher at Pease, Highland Park and Hart elementary schools in Austin. One of her most gratifying accomplishments was the creation of museum showings of her students’ artwork, bringing public attention to the talents of the children she loved. The descendant of a Cherokee princess, Becky was deeply connected to the natural world and the animal kingdom and was comforted by the presence of her beloved horses and dogs throughout her life. Art was more than a vocation; it was her way of life and was reflected in the soulful home she created with her fiancé, Michael Austin. Her proudest creation was her son Adam, born on October 29, 1984. He was the light of her life and had recently deployed to Iraq to serve his country. Becky will be the cowgirl angel protecting him in the months to come. She was preceded in death by her parents John Willie Biard and Margie Henson Biard of Paris, Texas. She is survived by her son Adam Biard Reis; granddaughter Rachel Reis of Pflugerville, Texas; brothers John Biard and Webb Biard of Paris, Texas; aunt Jo Newell Weilbacher of San Antonio. |
