Rebecca A. Lawrence, 82, of Quakertown, passed away on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, at LifeQuest Nursing Center, in Quakertown, where she had been a resident.
Born on July 11, 1942, in Doylestown, PA, she was the daughter of the late Albert F. “Bucky” Worrell and Marjorie (Murray) Worrell.
A graduate of South Hunterdon High School’s Class of 1961, Rebecca would later enter the workforce while also serving as a homemaker. She held employment with the United States Post Office, and later, the Quakertown Community School District, where she worked in the cafeteria.
Outside of work, she belonged to the Perkasie Women’s Club. She took joy in spending time at the beach, as well as exploring lighthouses. Above all, though, her enjoyment came from time spent with her family and often serving her legendary recipes.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband: William M. Lawrence, who passed away on February 25, 2007.
Rebecca will be lovingly remembered by her daughters: Debbie Keller (Glenn), Robin Lawrence, Sarah Lawrence (Troy Reinford), and Norma Solliday (Paul); grandchildren: Stephanie, Jake, Triston, and Luke; and her great-granddaughter: Lilly.
A visitation will be held at the C.R. Strunk Funeral Home, Inc., 821 West Broad Street, Quakertown, on Friday, November 15, 2024, from 10:00am until the time of the funeral service—in the funeral home—at 11:00am.
Interment will follow in St. Paul’s Church Cemetery in Applebachsville.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made, in Rebecca’s memory, to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, in recognition of Rebecca’s two successful battles with breast cancer.
