Rebecca Jo “Becki Jo” Gainer, age 76, passed away on April 27, 2025. Born in Lancaster, she was the youngest of 12 children to the late Clarence and Mary (Fauby) Gainer.
Becki Jo’s passion for baking cakes, pies and cookies, especially really thin sand tarts at Christmas, along with her jams and jellies brought joy to many, where her delicious creations delighted everyone. Her artistic talents shone through in her sewing and knitting, as she crafted beautiful blankets that will forever be treasured. In her garden, Rebecca nurtured the seeds of plants, cultivating beauty and providing much of the stock for her pies, jams and jellies.
Becki Jo is survived by her devoted son, Kyle M. Lewis (husband of Dawn); brothers Wendell S. Gainer Sr and Gene R. Gainer (husband of Dolly) along with step sisters Shirley Stewart and Linda Gibble (wife of James) and numerous nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Becki Jo is preceded in death by her 9 siblings.

Kyle, Your mom was a special person and a wonderful friend to me. I enjoyed working with her for years at CNH. She was smart, funny, loyal and kind, and the hardest worker I ever knew. I relied on her and trusted her and she never failed me I will miss her, but I am thankful to have had her as my friend for this long. I know the Lord has welcomed her with open arms. May the Lord bless you and your extended family at this sad time. With my sincerest sympathy, Celia Serine

I was truly honored to join her journey of life this past year. She stayed positive and continued to knit slippers and bake the most amazing “THIN” sand tarts this past Christmas season. Her Journey this past year was rough…But Aunt Beck was tough! She fought to the very end. Her Fiesty days are over and I will Miss her always.
Hugs to Kyle and all who knew and loved her. Robin S Gainer
