Rebecca Ann FINCH

Rebecca Ann FINCH Beckie left this world surrounded by love, laughter, and tears. She lived life on her own terms years before anyone coined the phrase 'women's lib'. Rather than list her career accomplishments, which are certainly impressive, Beckie will not be remembered for them. Those fortunate enough to have known her will attest to the pivotal and indispensable role she played in the course of their lives, whether as mother, grandmother, wife, sister, friend, nurse, manager, or wise sage. Beckie is the ultimate warrior, wanting only the truth of life regardless of the pain or sacrifice involved. She always did the hard thing, the right thing, instead of taking the easy route. She loved unconditionally and forgave everything. She accepted the risk of getting hurt as the price for living fully and openly. No one loved to laugh, sing off key, and celebrate the little victories of life more than she did. She is an old soul, here to gently guide, challenge, and lead by example. She took some pride in her minor faults, which made her approachable and vulnerable. She never took herself too seriously, having a wonderful talent for making the most awkward and insecure of us feel comfortable and welcome. She fiercely protected her family and friends, offering refuge, wisdom, and understanding. We feel truly blessed that she included us in her life. While we will miss her daily, she taught us all everything we need to know to live with integrity. She leaves behind her loving and devoted husband of 25 years, John Perkett; her daughter, Lisa Stewart, her husband Doug and their children, Abby, Jack, Joe and Kate: her son, Mike Lamey, his wife Stephanie and their children, Kellen and MacKenzie; her daughter, Paige Finch, and her partner, Judy; her sister, Sandy Russell, and her family and friends to numerous to count. Beckie has requested no service or memorial. In lieu of flowers, please make a generous donation in her name to Hospice of Kitsap County, 3100 Bucklin Hill Road, #201, P. O. Box 3416, Silverdale, WA 98383. Their professionalism and compassion allowed Beckie to fulfill her final wishes, and that, as the commercial says, is priceless.
