Becky Mann
Becky Mann of Louisville, daughter of the late William Bower and Helen Frazee Bower, was born August 26, 1925, in Escondido, California.
She went to be with the Lord in the early hours of the morning on Saturday, March 30, 2024, in Louisville. She was 98 years, 7 months, and 4 days old. She would have been 99 in August.
She professed faith in Christ and served him faithfully all the years of her life. She was a member of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church.
Paraphrased from God’s description of a virtuous and capable woman in Proverbs 31:10-31:
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above emeralds. Her husband can trust her, she will greatly enrich his life. She brings him good, not harm all the days of her life. She brings food from the garden to feed her family. She is energetic and strong. She makes her dealings profitable. Her lamps burn late into the night. Her hands are always busy. She extends her hand to the poor and needy. She is clothed with strength and dignity. She labors without fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise. She gives instruction with kindness. She carefully watches over her household and is not lazy. Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her always. There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all. Charm is deceptive and beauty does not last. But a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.
Becky united in marriage with Dr. W.R. “Doc” Mann on April 12, 1946. “Doc” preceded her in death on May 4, 1992.
She is survived by two daughters and one son: Dr. Barbara Freeman of Parrish, Florida, Bill Mann and wife, Genez of Taylors, South Carolina, and Beth Reynolds and husband, Tim of Campbellsville; eight grandchildren: Jeff Mobley and wife, Joanna of Greenville, South Carolina, Billy Mann and wife, Lisa of Campobello, South Carolina, Dr. Becky Antle and husband, Paul Bliss of Louisville, Lori Mann of Taylors, South Carolina, Jeff Reynolds and wife, Tonya of Campbellsville, Ryan Reynolds and wife, Kristin of Tampa, Florida, Josh Mann of Campbellsville, Caleb Mann of Campbellsville; six great-grandchildren: Mackenzie Antle, Trevor Antle, Hunter Mobley, Braden Antle, Christian Reynolds, and Noah Reynolds; many extended family members: nieces, nephews, cousins, chosen children and grandchildren she considered her own, and many close friends dear to her heart.
She was a true prayer warrior and she prayed for her family, her friends, and those in need of God’s mercy and healing every day. She even left behind her current prayer list as she passed the torch on to the next generation.
In addition to “Doc,” welcoming her into the kingdom of Heaven was a fellowship of those family and friends preceding her in death, including: a son, Patrick Douglas Mann, a granddaughter, Bethany “Boo” Anne Mann, and two brothers and two sisters: Richard Bower, David Bower, Lois Rollins, and Ruth Vasquez.
