Becky Picard, of Bridge City, Texas, passed away on September 23, 2026. She was born on September 30, 1955, in Paducah, Kentucky, to Shannon “Buddy” Messer and Thelma Lorene Plumber Messer.

She worked for her brother, Dr. Mark Messer, at Advanced Dental Care for 45 years. She also dedicated many years to Woodmen of the World Life Insurance, beginning in 1988 as a coordinator, later serving as Camp Coordinator, and eventually serving as Treasurer.
Becky was married to her husband, Paul Charles Picard, for 45 years. Together, they built a life centered around family, love, and the countless memories they shared throughout more than four decades together.
She was a devoted mother to her son, Joseph James Picard, and a loving stepmother to Melissa Picard Logan. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Shan Loren Zirlott.

Becky truly had a heart of gold. She was kind, loving, accepting, and had a way of seeing the good in people. She never seemed to meet anyone she didn’t like, and she made those around her feel welcomed, cared for, and loved.
She enjoyed bowling, crocheting, spending time with her dogs, going to the beach, and simply being surrounded by family. She found happiness in the simple things and treasured the memories made with the people she loved most.
Becky will be remembered for her loving heart, her kindness toward others, her devotion to her family, and the love she gave so freely throughout her life. She leaves behind a lifetime of memories that will continue to live on through everyone who knew and loved her.
She will be deeply missed by her husband, Paul; her son, Joseph; her stepdaughter, Melissa; her grandchildren and great-grandchildren; her brother and sisters; and the many extended family members, friends, coworkers, and loved ones whose lives she touched.
Her family takes comfort in knowing that she is reunited with those she loved who went before her, including her daughter, Shan, and grandson, Shaun.
Serving as pallbearers will be Joseph Picard, John Eddins, Jackson Schrumpf, Jesse Gardner, Jeremy Messer, and Wesley Self.
Becky’s love, kindness, and memory will remain with her family forever.
