Rebecca Hulbert Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Nov. 7 to Nov. 10, 2023.
Prescott - Rebecca Kay Hulbert, also known as Becky Hulbert, peacefully passed away on November 2, 2023, at the age of 80 in Prescott, Arizona. She was born on August 6, 1943, in Lubbock, Texas, Lubbock County. Rebecca's loving husband, Dr. Stephen Thompson Hulbert, her son Scott Wesley Hulbert, and her grandson Rowan James Hulbert survive her. She was preceded in death by her father, Colonel Wesley Woodrow Dunlap, her mother Viola Edwards Dunlap, and her brother Alan Dow Dunlap.

Rebecca's educational journey included the preparatory school at the Howard School in Bridgewater, Massachusetts through obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree from Keuka College in Keuka Park, New York, and a Master of Education degree from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Throughout her career, Rebecca made significant contributions to university administration at Western New England College and the University of Northern Colorado. She was also an esteemed alumna member of the Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity and served as a ZTA Chapter Advisor at Mansfield University of Pennsylvania and Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania. She was the First Lady at The University of Montana Western in Dillon, Montana, and at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana where in each instance she was a loving presence on the campus and in the broader community.

A Celebration of Life will be scheduled at a later date to honor Rebecca's remarkable life. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests making contributions to the Alzheimer's Association, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, or the Rebecca and Stephen Hulbert 1st Generation Scholarship at Nicholls State University.

The compassionate professionals at Hampton Funeral Home in Prescott, Arizona, are assisting the family with the arrangements.

Please note that the funeral home's contact information is excluded to respect privacy.

May Rebecca Kay Hulbert's memory forever be cherished by her loved ones, friends, and all those whose lives she touched.

Becky was a force of nature in everything she did and made sure we all were seeing the brighter side of life's bumps and potholes! Becky's welcoming and open heart made joining the Hulbert family a complete joy and I will treasure the time we spent together always. One of my favorite expressions of hers that captures her spirit: "light and nice"--whether about food, an outing to see the Christmas lights, or a quick spin around a new shoe shop, Becky found the light and fun in everything she did.
