Rebecca Sisco Obituary

Rebecca Jean Sisco "Becky" MOORESVILLE - Rebecca "Becky" Jean Sisco passed away on her 27th Birthday, May 21, 2013, at her residence in Mooresville with her parents by her side. Becky is survived by her parents, Grace and Jim Sisco of Mooresville, grandmother Margaret Sisco, Cocoa, Florida; eight aunts and uncles, eight cousins; and her best friend, Courtney from Utah. Becky also had many friends on-line and was connected to other young people with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) throughout the United States. She was preceded in death by grandparents, Jack and Jean Adams and James C. Sisco Sr. Becky was born in SLC Utah and attended Canyon View Elementary before moving to Mooresville.

She attended Catawba Valley and Mitchell Community Colleges and was a graduate of NC Partners in Policymaking and used her skills to meet with both state and national legislators. Thank you dear Becky for inspiring many and teaching us what is really important: that life is all about relationships and the best gifts DO come in small packages.
