Rebecca Lynn Fitzhugh

Biography: Rebecca Lynn (Becky) Fitzhugh, 75, passed away peacefully on February 13, 2024. She was born in Little Rock, Arkansas on August 2, 1948. Becky is preceded in death by her loving parents, Frank and Peggy Fitzhugh.
Becky lived a full life of love and laughter in spite of living with seizures for over 65 years. At six years old she contracted encephalitis and was in a coma for several weeks. It took several trips to Johns Hopkins over the next few years of her life to get her medications to where they controlled the seizures. However, Becky never let her disability slow her down. She was always smiling, always wanting to go places. She loved trying new things, was never afraid of anything. She loved shopping, going to movies, going out to eat and playing games. She also loved the Razorbacks. They provided her with so much entertainment over the years. When the team lost, football or basketball, she was never down; she supported them win or lose. In fact, she never was down. She was always ready for the next day's plans!
After graduating from Central, Becky went to work for her dad's insurance agency. She was there for approximately 40 years and absolutely loved it, especially all the people. She loved kids and helped teach Sunday School for many years. She was active in Civitan and loved all the members in her group who were so supportive of her. Becky's dogs, Prissy and Sassy, were so devoted to her and she loved them dearly - especially Sassy who never left her side once Peggy (Becky's mom) was gone.
Becky loved her church more than anything in the world and was there for every event unless she absolutely couldn't get there. Her sister, Jenny, knew that Becky was a precious gift from God and that she was so blessed to have her in her life.
Becky is survived by her sister Jenny and brother-in-law Walter, the Smiley and Glasbrenner families and her many wonderful friends. Jenny wants to thank Angela, Tish, and Simone for their loving care of Becky over the past few weeks.
