Rebecca "Becky" Sue Schweizer

Rebecca "Becky" Schweizer, 65 of Witt, Illinois entered into eternal rest on Monday, June 16th at Hillsboro Hospital surrounded by family and friends.

Becky was born in Xenia, OH on February 1, 1960 to Claude and Elizabeth (Nell) Armstrong. She moved to Nokomis, Illinois at age 13 where she met her best friend, Kim Henschen. She
graduated from Nokomis High School in 1978 and went to nursing school. She married the love of her life, Dave Schweizer, May 24th, 1980 at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Nokomis, IL, he survives. 

She worked as a nurse for 46 years in many different settings including Taylorville and Hillsboro Hospitals, Golden Manor Nursing home in Nokomis, Litchfield Family Practice, and
