Rebecca Ely Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Weeks' Dryer Mortuary - Tacoma on Oct. 6, 2024.
Rebecca Jean Ely was born in Auburn, Washington to Glenn and Sally Morehead on November 18, 1966. She grew up in Auburn with her brothers Mike and Ken. She attended Chinook Elementary, Olympic Junior High and Auburn High School. The Morehead family spent their summers camping and roadtripping. Some of their favorite places were Bumping Lake, Potholes and Taneum creek where they would ride motorcycles and fish. It was from her parents that Becky got her love of camping and the outdoors. On October 2, 1992 she married Christopher Charles Ely and was later joined by her beautiful daughters Madison Jean Ely and Emma Nicole Ely.
Becky loved hiking, biking, walking, jogging, camping and riding motorcycles up in the hills. She loved watching all of her daughter's sporting events, dance recitals, band concerts and rowing meets. She also enjoyed watching the Sounders, Seahawks and Mariners. Becky loved all her cats throughout the years and most recently had been enjoying her ducks and her cat Winston which always brought a smile to her face. She loved going on rides but most of all going to Disneyland with her family.
She is survived by and forever loved by her husband, daughters, parents, brothers, cat, ducks and many others.
