Rebecca was born on May 27, 1961, in Bryan, Texas, to Charles Neal and Mary Jo Wilson. In her spare time, Rebecca enjoyed baking, crafting, and decorating for the holidays. She often enjoyed traveling with her husband. Rebecca was devoted to always helping with the church functions, and spending time with the church youth. She cherished her family, especially her grandchildren. If you know her, she always loved riding around on the golf cart in the neighborhood with her little pals, Zoey and Sophie. She will be greatly missed, and we will always hold our memories of her dear to us.
Left to cherish those memories are her loving husband, Clifford Gillespie; daughters, Kayla (Chris Sowells) Phillips and Christina (Jeff) Hunt; her sons, Kevin (Krysta) Neal and Kenneth (Joshlyn) Spears; sisters, Kathy (Rusty) White and Shirley (Jerry) Evans; her grandchildren, Gage, McKenzie, Hunter, Skylar, McKayla, William, and Daniel; and a great-grandchild, Leilani.
She was preceded in death by her parents, and her sister, Barbara.
