She attended Redlands Christian School and Calvary Chapel Christian School where she graduated valedictorian.  She worked summers in logistics for the US Forest Service at the Del Rosa station in San Bernardino, CA.  She also began teaching piano lessons when she was 16.   

She then attended California Baptist University where she graduated with honors with a BA in English.  She also studied music and performed as an accompanist with the traveling group "Light!".  

She began working at ESRI, Inc. in Redlands, where she stayed for almost 10 years as a documentation writer.  She also performed in numerous musical theater productions and taught piano lessons during that time.  

Becky married Vince Pellegrini on February 3, 2007.  They continued living in CA where Becky had numerous jobs including wedding photographer, church choir director, coffee shop owner/operator, living history teacher, and waitress.  She also played piano and sang at church.  

​

Vince and Becky left CA and moved to Washington State in 2013.  Becky worked at a restaurant in downtown Seattle, as a bartender and steward on a harbor cruise ship, and as a front desk employee at a salon and spa before settling in at her job at BBCS, Inc. writing software documentation.  She also taught private voice and piano lessons, and directed and performed with two oldies a cappella singing groups, The Harborettes and The HoneyBees.  

In 2020 they bought a home in Washougal, WA.  After the covid lockdowns, she began singing and playing piano at Warehouse Church, while still working for BBCS and teaching online music lessons. 

Becky was hard working and loved to be outdoors gardening, playing with her dog, or mowing the lawn.  She kept busy with numerous different crafts and loved making gifts for others.  She had a heart for the elderly and loved sharing her musical gifts with them.  Becky also enjoyed cooking her favorite foods from her Armenian and German heritage, and baking homemade bread.  She had a large collection of modern and antique hymnals.

Becky loved Jesus and her family, and wanted nothing more than to show love to others the best she could with God's help.
