Rebecca Hobbs Obituary
Born in Forsyth County on April 12, 1938, she was the daughter of the late Marion Alexander and Ella Forbus Conrad. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her husband of 52 years, Liston E. Hobbs; and her son, Ronnie Hobbs. Rebecca taught piano for over 50 years. Teaching and playing for her church was her absolute joy. She started playing for her church at 12 years of age at the church that her daddy pastored in Shelby. She loved teaching children to love and appreciate music and always reminded everyone that music was an art to be enjoyed for a lifetime.
She is survived by two daughters, Renee Maiorano and husband John of Holly Ridge, Connie Neighbors of Holly Ridge; five grandchildren, Heather Adams and husband Rich, Angela Williams and husband Marcus, Ronald Hobbs and wife Carly, Kristen Poehlitz and husband Scott, John Maiorano; and nine great-grandchildren.
