So very sorry to learn of Rebecca’s passing. “Becky” and I were longtime classmates, graduating in 1958. She was a good friend. May all of your memories of the good times help you all in the days ahead.

Rebecca was a true friend to many in her community. I can't say enough about how Rebecca cared for my Mom. They had a special friendship that spand over 40 years. They loved those frappes and going out with the girls for dinner, as well as car rides around the area.
She touched so many people's lives with kindness and compassion.
