Becky (Richardson) Shunn passed away on Sunday, November 15, 2020, at
the Salina Regional Health Center in Salina, KS, at the age of 60. She
was born on July 15, 1960 to Earl and Colleen (Wangler) Richardson in
Plainville, KS. Becky married Scott Shunn in 1996. They later divorced.
Becky was a lifetime resident of Rooks County growing up in Stockton
where she graduated from Stockton High School with the Class of 1974.
She attended Cosmetology School in Goodland and returned to Rooks County
where she worked as a hairdresser for the remainder of her life. She
owned Trimmer’z Salon in Plainville for many years and she and Scott
owned the Duck Blind in Stockton. Becky was a member of the Hospital
Auxiliary, Sigma Phi Epsilon Sorority in Plainville, and was a lifetime
member of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary.
Becky loved her family, close friends, and was always up for a
party. She would help anyone she could. She loved animals and fed many
cats around her house - up until she met a skunk that is!
Becky was a hard-working and fun-loving woman who loved life. She
will be remembered for her big heart, tender care, her smile as bright
as sunshine, her love for animals, being stubborn to a fault, and always
the life of the party. Her beautiful spirit will endure forever. We
mourn the years that she will not have, and we celebrate the time that
was hers and the life that she lived.
Left to cherish her memory is her mother, Colleen Richardson of
Stockton; sister, Sandra Staton of Stockton; step-daughter, Brianna
Shunn; nephews, George and Tony Glenn, and Jonathan and Donald Staton;
and great-niece and nephew, Jasmine and Bubba Staton; as well as several
colleagues and friends.
She is preceded in death by her father, Earl Richardson; and sister, Julie Glenn.
A Graveside Service will be held on Friday, November 20, 2020 at
11:00 AM at the Mt. Vernon Cemetery located northwest of Stockton.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, at the funeral
home in Stockton.
Memorials are suggested to Ellis County Humane Society and may be
sent in care of Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home, 723 North First,
