In 1947 she joined Cleveland Hunter in holy matrimony and to this union there were no children. She was employed at Hutzel Hospital for 32 years. In the early 1990's the couple retired to Cleveland's hometown of Bakersfield, CA. Rebecca became a member of Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. H.T. Calhoun, Pastor. She served on the Kitchen Committee and was a member of the Women's Mission Union (WMU). Shortly after their move to Bakersfield, Cleveland passed on; however Rebecca chose to stay in California. Rebecca leaves to cherish her memory one cousin, four nieces, two grand nieces, one grand nephew, two great-grand nephews, and a host of other family and friends. The family greatly appreciates the care given by Rebecca's personal care givers, Catherine Villa and Lori Orona, and the kindness shown by the staff at Columbus Estates Retirement Center where Rebecca departed this life.
