In Loving Memory of

Rebecca Linn Peters (Drumwright)

Born: August 16, 1951 ~ Passed Away: October 16, 2025

Becky lived a life full of love, laughter, and light. She loved to fish, dance, and spend her days at the beach - her happy place. A devoted mother of six, she poured her heart into her family, raising her children with strength, compassion, and endless love. Her greatest joy in life was her grandchildren, who were truly her pride and joy.

Becky had a gift for making everyone feel like family. She was a mother figure to many - the person everyone called for advice, comfort, or just a listening ear. Her home was always open, her heart even more so. Her laughter could fill a room, and her kindness left an imprint on every soul she touched.

A loyal Miami Dolphins fan, a beach lover, and a woman who danced through life with grace and grit - Becky will be remembered for her warmth, her humor, and the unconditional love she gave so freely.
