Rebekah Gay Obituary
The daughter of Thomas Gay and Sally (Kelly) Gay was born March 26, 1988, in Midland. Rebekah graduated from Bullock Creek High School in 2007 and from In Session School of Cosmetology. She had worked at BoRics Hair Care before becoming employed at the Goodwill Store in Mount Pleasant where she had been recently promoted to management.
Rebekah enjoyed life to the fullest and was an inspiration to all that knew her. She was very family oriented; caring for others before herself. She was a loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and niece, was totally devoted to her son, truly one of God's angels and was known as "Bekah-Boo."
Rebekah is survived by her son, Conway Cliff Kelly; her fiancé, Aaron Quinn; parents, Thomas and Sally Gay of Midland; brothers, James Gay of Midland, Aaron Gay of Gladwin; sister, Deborah (Jason) Saunders of Sanford; nieces, Aubrianah Kortge, Arianah Kortge, Tanlyn Saunders and Alexis Spears; nephews, Mason Saunders, Jordon Saenz, Madix Saunders and Treigh Saunders; and many extended family members.
Funeral services will be conducted at 1 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012, from Homer United Methodist Church, at 507 S. Homer Rd., Midland, MI 48640. Visitation will be held from 11-1 p.m. At 1 p.m., a Celebration of Life Ceremony will be held with The Rev. David Mulder officiating. A luncheon will be served at the church fellowship hall from 2-3:30 p.m. Interment will be held in Jerome Township Cemetery following the luncheon, officiated by Pastor Dan Adamczyk of Living Waters Christian Church of Gladwin.
All memorials offered will be applied toward last expenses and a trust fund for Rebekah's pride and joy, her son Conway c/o Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. Gay.
Funeral arrangements will be solely conducted at Homer United Methodist Church. A very special Thank You to Wilson MILLER Funeral Home for their COMPASSION and UNDERSTANDING for our family at this very special time of need.
