She was a very special lady. I remember her passion for sharing kindness, compassion, and dedication in her work in Parsons, KS. She was very open and welcoming of "the kids" that hung out at their house on occasion. A lot of good memories. My sincere condolences to the family.

Becky and I sang on the choir at Saint Mary´s in Parsons, Kansas. She was a wonderful teacher to some of my Community Service students. My daughter and I visited with she and Don after they moved to Florida. We stayed in touch by phone and always talked movies. I missed our conversations the past two years. Condolences to all the family.

So sorry for your loss. My family knew her from church. I was just inquiring about Rebecca a couple of weeks ago to Debbie Sosnicki. She informed me on her health. Even though she will be missed, she is at peace and able to be reunited with Don. God bless you Rebecca Pound.

She was a handful, but I loved her & Don. She treated me like a daughter, and always amazed me the way she read through a book, and would highlight the important parts and would teach it, remembering every detail.
The funniest memory (now) was when she was working at a rehab facility in Ocala. She stopped by the church to retrieve something from her classroom. The door was locked so she used her keys to let herself in. She drove all the way to Ocala and then realized she had left her keys in the classroom. Her keys included her key fob for her car! Once she turned it off, she was stuck in Ocala. So, I received a frantic call from Rebecca. I told her I would bring her the key fob, which I did.....in probably the worst rainstorm I had ever driven through!
Rest In Peace Rebecca!! You are now with your beloved Don. God finally said; it´s time.
