Rebecca Blocher

As my colleague in the area of gifted education, Rebecca was smart, supportive and inspirational. Working in the Oregon environment that neither supports nor encourages gifted education to any great degree, Rebecca succeeded in bringing about significant changes that had eluded her predecessors and will affect children for years to come. She was a skilled and knowledgeable educator who shared her extensive experience and insights with students embarking on their careers in education during...

Please accept my condolences for your loss. As the Student Services Director for a school district in Oregon, I had the opportunity to work with Rebecca and appreciated how easy she was to work with. She always provided a sense of support even when she was delivering hard news.

I'm so sorry to hear of Rebecca's passing. I worked with Rebecca at the Oregon Dept. of Education, and she was both a passionate advocate for TAG students as well as a fun person to work with. I remember all the times she stopped by my "cube" to share her joke of the day and how we laughed! She was very proud of her daughter and so happy to be moving closer to her. I will miss my friend, Rebecca, and I send my deepest condolences to her family and friends.

I am so saddened by Rebecca's passing. I worked with Rebecca at the Oregon Department of Education. I missed her wit and laughter when she moved back to Kansas. I am so happy she was able to relocate to be near her daughter.

I am so deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Rebecca. She was a treasured colleague at the Oregon Department of Education. I always so enjoyed working with her, talking about the connections between science and gifted education, and most especially talking about our wonderful only children whom we both loved so dearly. She was a warm, kind, funny, loving person who touched so many lives and made the world a better place. She will be deeply missed. She will always hold a special place...

I knew Rebecca from the Oregon Department of Education and she was always smiling. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers but her laughter will always live in my heart.

My condolences. I remember "Becky" from our childhood. Your grandmother lived next door to us "the Millers". It is a small world as Rebecca worked with my son-in-law at the Ottawa school. God grant you comfort at this sad time.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your loved one. Pray to God for strength to endure your loss.-Philipians 4:13

We had the honor of being Rebecca's neighbor in Lawrence. She was the light of the neighborhood - always energetic, positive, fun. She brought a joy to my family that was special and persistent with her laughter but also her insights, curiosity, and passion. I'm a better parent because of Rebecca. And Rebecca was a unique, insightful friend to my wife, Mary. And our kids, Brooke and Drake, absolutely love Rebecca - a special place in their hearts for her. It was my honor and delight to...
