Rebecca (Becky) Ann Hacker Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

1953 - 2017 Healer, barber, friend, sister and beloved aunt, Rebecca Ann Hacker “Becky” died peacefully in her Taylorsville, Utah home, with her family by her side, on September 3, 2017. Born in Salt Lake City on Mother’s Day, May 13, 1953, to Fae and Robert Hacker, Becky was a vibrant and happy baby with a head full of dark curly hair. Her beautiful, big curly hair perfectly matched her beautiful, big personality. Growing up, Becky and her older brother Val made sure to get into plenty of trouble together, riding their horses through what used to be the empty fields of Taylorsville, and pranking folks along the way. Becky’s most notorious prank came when she collected a bag full of garden snakes, took them inside and dumped them on her dad’s lap as he rested in his easy chair. Her dad nearly died of a heart attack, and she never lived it down. As Becky grew older, her heart turned to more noble pursuits. Directly after graduating from Kearns High School, she made her way through barber school. Her work as a barber enabled her to buy a nice shiny red convertible, and pay for her college education. She attended the University of Utah, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in biology. She then moved to California where she attended the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic. Once she completed her chiropractic schooling, Becky moved back to Utah where she started her own practice. Becky’s healing hands blessed countless people throughout her 38 years as a chiropractor. Her abilities were not just limited to chiropractic applications; she was also a great source of knowledge on nutrition and natural healing. Becky’s life was filled with love and laughter. She enjoyed traveling, camping, fun music, and a good party. Becky was a foodie and a fantastic cook. She was always happiest when she was eating a nice meal with the ones she loved. She was adored by her nieces and nephew, and was regularly called upon for a bit of good advice or a good belly laugh. Becky spent the last years of her life caring tirelessly for her ailing mother, and will always be remembered for her big heart and generous spirit. Becky is survived by her brother Val (Debbie) Hacker, her nieces Leslie Flitton, Traci (James) Clark, Jamie (Jared) Kirkwood, Marcie (Eric) Johnson, Jenny (‘One) Taumoepeau, Staci (Michael) Beltran, her nephew Scott Hacker, and her 16 grand nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents, Fae and Robert Hacker, one niece and one nephew. To remember Becky and her wonderful life, we will be joining together to share memories of her, along with two of her favorite things - music and food. Becky’s celebration of life will be held on Friday, September 8, 2017 from 6:00 – 8:00pm at the Brookshire Ward, 1327 W 5550 S. In lieu of flowers, please plant something beautiful in your yard in Becky’s honor this spring.
