Rebecca and Phillip Schiering

SCHIERING, Rebecca & Phillip Rebecca and Phillip Schiering were taken from us on July 18, 2010. These two amazing people will forever be remembered for their joyful energy, open hearts, and giving nature. Rebecca was brought into this world by Beverly and Jim Volk on December 27, 1973 in the small town of Aberdeen, South Dakota. From an early age she displayed the wit and charm that she would later become known for by those that loved her. Joined later by her younger brothers David and Evan, Rebecca and their mother eventually settled in the Spokane Valley in 1989. Though Rebecca's early adulthood was abundant in personal struggles, her first blessings came in the form of her first child, Brian Winkler, whom she had with her first husband, Rick Winkler. Brian's inherent kindness and patience would later play an intricate role in helping shape Rebecca's remarkable transition to Mother, Business Owner, and Philanthropist that the Spokane Community has come to know, love, and respect. Rebecca's final savior was the birth of her twins Jack and Phillip on November 16, 2000 which cemented Rebecca's resolve. The most giving of children, Phillip shared his mother's sense of humor, wit, and generosity. Although, their time on this earth was short, their family hopes that their accomplishments and ability to overcome hurdles in life will serve as an inspiration to others. Memorial services will be held at 11:00 am, Friday, July 23rd Heritage Funeral Home. The service will be open to the friends and family of Rebecca and Phillip. The family requests that in lieu of flowers; please send contributions to The Rebecca Schiering Children's Fund at the United Health Service Credit Union, 613 S Washington, PO Box 3110, Spokane WA 99220-3110.
