Rebecca Caldwell Obituary

CALDWELL, REBECCA (BECKI), 42, of Orlando, passed away Thursday, March 2, 2006. Born at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. She and her parents were transferred to Orlando in 1967, where they were stationed at McCoy Air Force Base. Becki attended Orlando Jr. Academy and graduated from Central Florida Academy. Born into a family of animal lovers, she often assisted her mother in caring for the Golden Retriever Rescue, Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) and New Horizons Service Dogs. Becki was employed part-time for a CPA firm and also worked behind the scenes for many concert tours held at the Arena and Citrus Bowl. Becki was often jokingly referred to as "Mayor" of Lake Killarney, because of her interest regarding the "goings on" around the lake. She loved doing cross word puzzles and saduko puzzles. She is survived by her mother, Marcia Taylor Caldwell of Orlando, and her father, Bob Caldwell of Oklahoma; grandmother, Elma Connally of Eustis; three cousins, Carole Lea of Sanford, Shannon Nouinska of Kansas, Stephanie Longfellow of DeLand; two stepbrothers, Jason and Justin Caldwell; two aunts, Jan Marsh and Anne Griner. In lieu of flowers, donations are asked to be sent to New Horizons Service Dogs, 1590 Laurel Park Court, Orange City, FL 32763 or Golden Retriever Rescue, P.O. Box 1449, Goldenrod, FL 32733-1449.

Hi Becky, we certainly miss you. I think of you often. I am so grateful that we reconnected before you passed. I used to always wonder what became of you. Thank you for reconnecting with us. We could never thank you enough for the joy that you provided with your presence.

Becki, I felt compelled to write this tonight as Jason has been sharing more memories of you. I never new you in this life, but I feel like I did with the way your brother speaks of you. Jason misses you so much and we talk about you often. You have 3 handsome nephews and a beautiful niece, whose middle name is Rebecca (after her aunt of course). I have no doubt you would have been a wonderful and fun aunt and sister-in-law. You will live on through memory as we will make sure our children know all about their aunt Becki. Your family loves and misses you.

I am stunned and deeply saddened to just now learn of Becki's homegoing. We were very close for many years and regrettably let our friendship lapse. She was a funny lady and smart as a whip. My poem written for Rio will be gladly emailed to anyone who would like to read it. Celebrating her memory with love, laughter, a 1965 nickel and some of the good stuff saved for a very special occasion!

Becki,

You can't even imagine how much I am going to miss you. I still wait on your phone calls weekly or calling you to listen to your witty reparte on your answering machine. I miss our every Saturday breakfast and garage sales. I will always cherish the things I talked you out of and think of you every time I look at them. You will always have a special place in my heart and I will see you again someday, I am sure of it. Love ya like a sister. Watch your mouth in heaven ha ha!

I have several memories of Becki as a friend and classmate. We lived close and would hang out together talking about boys, go shopping, roller skate (she taught me to roller skate) and as the years pasted we would hang out once in a while until I moved to Altamonte and got married. Little did I know that when she called me from her hospital bed in January that we had such little time to talk. We hugged at the OJA 100th anniversary celebration, talked briefly, catching up, and promised to call each other and meet for lunch. But that time never came for us, and I regret that. May she rest in peace and may she remain close in all our thoughts and hearts forever. Miss your laugh, miss you, Cristie Hiatt classmate and friend.

Joey called to tell me. Although I hadn't seen you in 3 years, the mention of your name made you visible. Paulie enjoyed meeting you and finding someone who could almost see him eye-to-eye. Well you really are eye-to-eye now.

You will be missed by so many....

My dear Becki, it's just not going to be the same without your smile, laughter, and true to yourself spirit. You called me "mom", which made me proud. It was always a joy to spend time with you and your "bestest friend", my daughter Traci. I'm so glad my sister and I got to visit with you just a few days before you were called "home". You always showed so much concern for not only Traci and her family, but myself and my sister. You will truly be missed. Save me a good seat up there dear one. Until we meet again in God's house, "Mom".

Condolences to Becki's family and many friends.

Becki called me in January when she was admitted as a patient to Florida Hospital. We had lost touch with each other back in the 80s and I had often wondered how I could find her. What a wonderful surprise it was to come into work that next morning and hear her voice on my voice mail. I went over and visited her at lunch time and we started emailing each other and looked forward to our reunion at OJA on Feb 18. As we talked and reminisced about old times, we promised that we would get together for lunch in the near future - little did we realize that Becki would be gone in 2 weeks. I am so very thankful that Becki contacted me in Jan and that we were able to see each other. It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dear friend - for now. It is my hope that we will all be reunited in Heaven one day and can have our lunch together up there. Until then, sleep precious Becki, until Jesus comes to take us Home.

Dear Becki,

My birthday could not be any more special then finding you after 28 years at the OJA anniversary. We are so thrilled that you attended. I am sorry I lost track of you for so long. I am grateful for the one hug, one phone call and one email that you gave me. The memory of you will live on as long as there is someone to share your memory. Thank you for showing us friendship and sharing your laughter.

Love You Always,

Becki & her 9th grade OJA classmates

Becki and I met at the age of 6 (1970), she soon became part of our family. We shared our dreams and secrets. Becki always desired excitement and lived life on the edge. Her energy will be missed by all that knew her. My heart goes out to Marcia and Becki's family. The loss is great and the emptiness is forever. I will always remember Becki and miss her daily.

I will miss Becki very much. She was a great friend. You could always count on her for pretty much anything. She was the biggest animal lover. I will never forget her. She was wonderful!

The Backstage Community mourns the sudden loss of Becki Caldwell. Becki worked as a Runner, a Catering Assist and in the Office of a local production company for many years. She was a dedicated professional who always did her best and didn’t take any crap from anyone. Becki was a sister and a friend and although we drifted apart a few years ago I will always remember her with love and respect.
