Becky Lyn McLelland

Becky McLelland, beloved daughter of Gary and Sandy Walls, passed away on July 30, 2025, at the age of 43. She is preceded in death by many beloved family members and friends, whose memories she cherished throughout her life.

Born on May 22, 1982, Becky grew up surrounded by love and laughter on the family farm in Evansville. She was born in Red Bud and baptized at St. Boniface Catholic Church, where she began a life grounded in compassion.

A proud graduate of Gibault Catholic High School, Becky forged lifelong friendships and developed a passion for art. For 10 years, she dedicated herself to her career at Gilster Mary Lee Corporation, where her work ethic, kindness, and camaraderie were deeply valued by colleagues and friends alike.

A true lover of rock music, Becky always had her favorite songs playing and delighted in sharing her passion for music with those she loved. She loved the outdoors and found joy and peace riding horses. Becky was also endlessly devoted to her cherished rabbits, caring for them with gentle hands and a loving heart. She devoted a portion of her time creating beautiful art which she shared online with the world.

Above all, Becky was devoted to her family. She was a loving mother, whose unwavering support and love shaped the lives of her child and stepchildren; a supportive and caring wife and partner; a cherished daughter, whose presence brought comfort and happiness; a loving sister, and a treasured granddaughter whose warmth will forever be missed.

Her kindness, compassion, and sense of humor touched everyone who knew her. The memories created with her will be held dearly by all those whose lives she graced.

She is survived by her parents Gary and Sandy Walls of Evansville; caring husband Chris McLelland of Ellis Grove and 3 children: Dylan McLelland of Ellis Grove; Hope (Jack) Williams of Marion; and Nathan (Taiylor) McLelland of Wood River. Becky also leaves behind a brother Robert (Katie) Walls of Percy, as well as niece Violet and nephew Noah, and many cousins, aunts, uncles, and a grandmother who will always carry her memory in their hearts.

A funeral mass will be held at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Evansville on Saturday, August 9 th at 10:00am. The church will be open for visitation from 9:00-10:00am.

Though her time with us was far too short, Becky's light will continue to shine through the love she gave and the lives she touched. Donations to help the family with medical bills and burial services may be made at the visitation.

Rest in peace.
