Rebecca VanderWall Obituary
Rebecca Ann VanderWall entered this life December 24, 1974 and departed this life November 21, 2020. She was the beloved daughter of Donald and Marilyn VanderWall, beloved mother of Andrew Michael Makinson and Melanie Nicole Makinson. She leaves behind her parents, her beloved children, Andrew (Angie Pengitore) and Melanie, her brothers: James (Kirsten), Donny (Kristina), Steven, Andrew, and Michael and many aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends. She lived a life of loving, giving, caring and sharing. If she saw someone in need, she gave what she could. If someone was sad, she brightened their day. She befriended many and loved deeply.
