Becky Jane Ely (Barker) was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on April 14, 1957, to Melba and Gerald Barker. The youngest of five siblings, she blazed her own trail. She always said, “I wasn’t born in Texas but got here as soon as I could.” She was a devoted wife to David, her husband of 43 years. They put down roots in Bandera County, where she enjoyed gardening, caring for animals and raising her children. She passed away peacefully in her sleep in New Braunfels on April 10th, 2026. She is survived by her husband, David Ely and her children Stephanie Barker, Myah Dumas, Jessica Ely, and Benjamin Ely and her 4 grandchildren: Addison and Emery Ely, Sebastien and Martin Dumas. Her humor and spirit will be dearly missed.
