Rebecca (Becci) Dockum, a devoted wife, loving mother of many, and truly caring friend, passed away on January 16th, 2025, at the age of 65. A lifelong resident of Battle Creek and recent homeowner in Union City, Becci spent her life spreading love, kindness, and joy.
Becci's family was her greatest joy, and she truly lived for her grandchildren. She is survived by her husband of 44 years, Perry (Paul) Dockum; their children, Dustin Paul Dockum, Daniel Perry Dockum, and Michelle Autumn Dockum/Wilkey With her Husband Mark Wilkey and her beloved grandchildren, Bradlee, Kory, Kaden, Brendynn, Kyler, and Koltin.
Throughout her career in retail, Becci formed lasting bonds with her work family at Kmart and Sam's Club. Her dedication, exceptional customer service skills, and infectious smile earned her a special place in the hearts of her colleagues and customers alike.
Becci's remarkable weight loss journey and stunning flower gardens inspired many. Her gift of gab could light up anyone's day, and her generosity of spirit made her a mother figure to countless people.
However, Becci's greatest legacy was her family. She cherished every moment spent with her loved ones and was incredibly proud of the people they became. Her love, guidance, and support will continue to shape their lives for generations to come.
There will be no formal service at this time. A Celebration of Life will be held when the weather permits, allowing family and friends to gather and share memories of Becci's life. Details will be shared at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Becci's GoFundMe page, "Becci's Final Farewell," to support the family during this difficult time.
Rest in peace, Momma. Your love and light will continue to illuminate the lives of many, and you will live in our hearts forever. May you rest ever so peacefully and gracefully.
