Rebecca (Becky) Sonnick (nee Fixsen) (Schoer, Labbe) Age 83, of Mendota Heights, Minnesota Becky passed away peacefully on August, 29th, 2022. Becky was born Rebecca Ann Fixsen, February 22, 1939. Becky spent much of her early years on a farm near Seaforth, Redwood Co., MN. She attended Wabasso Public School and the University of Minnesota. Becky moved to St. Paul in 1958. Although she lived in many areas through out St. Paul, during the 60's and 70's, she later moved in to the Eagan, West St. Paul and Mendota Heights vicinity, where she spent the rest of her life. Becky was a retired State of Minnesota Education employee and a proud lifetime AFSCME union member. Becky became the president of PFLAG and was a member of the Society of Mayflower Descendants, the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), the Minnesota Territorial Pioneers, and the Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary. Her consuming hobbies were antiques, collectibles and bric-a-brac. She sold of her "Treasures" in shops in Stillwater, Burnsville, Antique shows etc. throughout the Twin Cities. Becky loved art! Flowers and anything of beauty were admired by her. She loved painting and even planted nearly every species of flower imaginable in her yard, that would grow in Minnesota. Later in life Becky found a new passion in genealogy. To her surprise, Becky discovered she was descended from at least 12 Mayflower Pilgrims. From her research and documentation, the Mayflower Society at Plymouth, MA. approved them all: (Priscilla Mullins Alden-her 11x great grandmother, John Alden, Francis Cooke, Stephen Hopkins, Myles Standish, George Soule, Henry Samson, Richard Warren, Isaac Allerton, Williams Mullins etc.) Becky also documented 3 Revolutionary War Patriots, which were approved by DAR. Becky also discovered that 3 family ancestors lived in Minnesota before it became a state. Through the "McCurdy" line (Margaret Stewart/Staurt and Margaret "Peggy" Cameron) Becky found direct blood lineage to many of the old Kings and Queens of Scotland, England, France, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Keiv Ukraine, and other countries. However, Becky was not thrilled to learn that King Henry the 8th was a great uncle of hers. Becky now joins in death all of her many ancestors.
