Rebecca Cotey Obituary

Rebecca Nicole Cotey Our sweet, loving, precious Rebecca Nicole Cotey passed away on January 10th, 2018. She was 18. "Becca" was born on May 12th, 1999 to Jennifer and Daniel Cotey in Olympia, WA. Early on, Becca attended Mariah Art School. She then attended Leland P. Brown, Garfield Elementary, Jefferson Middle School, Capital High, and South Puget Sound (SPS) Community College. She graduated from Capital High and SPS in 2017 and was working towards becoming a dental assistant. Becca was loved by so many: her parents, her brothers Jacob and Ethan, a large extended family along with her friends and the countless number of people whose lives she made better through her kind and fun-loving spirit. Becca will live on in our hearts and minds as we all strive to make this world a kinder place, as she did. Your love transcends, sweet girl.

I met Becca in French class my freshman year. We only had a few conversations but she was always sweet and picked up everything she learned very quickly! Her warm and gentle spirit touched many. I´ll be planting flowers in her memory today and performing a random act of kindness. My deepest condolences to the family.

I heard about Becca's from her aunt Kimberly, words will not be strong enough to describe the sadness I saw in her eyes but as soon as she started talking about memories with her niece her face expression changed and I could tell how proud she was of her.
To the parents of Rebecca and all her family I pray for god to fill your hearts with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I am so sorry for your loss...I met Rebecca this past summer, purchased some raspberry plants from here in her fundraising efforts to attend SPSCC. Had a sweet conversation with her, was really impressed by her spirit.
A neighbor, Michael
