Rebecca Sulser Obituary

Rebecca Sulser LEXINGTON - Rebecca Keene Sulser, age 68, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, November 22nd. Becky was born on March 10, 1947 in Skowhegan, Maine, to the late Winton Thomas and Margaret Nadeau Keene. She is survived by her loving husband, William "Bill" Sulser; daughter, Teresa Woodbury Smith; son, David Thomas "Woody" Woodbury; brother, Winton Thomas Keene, Jr. (Sheryl); and grandchildren, Anna Elizabeth Smith, Mary Catherine Smith, and grand-dog golden retriever, "Bo"; children, Amanda Sulser, Kenneth Sulser, Theresa Elliott (Michael), Kyle Sulser (Dana), and Trever Sulser (Amber); grandchildren, Steven Sulser (Kaycee), Kenneth Sulser, Jr. (Katie), Angel Renfroe (Chris), Zack Sulser (Lindsay), Jonathan Elliott, Shauna Elliott, McKenzie Sulser, TJ Sulser, Lydia Elliott, Emily Sulser, and Cade and Savannah Dickerson. Great-grandchildren, Peryn and Paelyn Sulser, and Isabella and Ariel Renfroe. Becky grew up in Norridgewock, Maine and graduated from Skowhegan High School in 1965. She attended Thayer Hospital School of Radiology in Waterville Maine, and began her career at Reddington Hospital in Skowhegan. Becky worked for many years as an X-ray technician, and Medical Assistant for Dr. Williams and Dr. Bledsoe, and later retired from Doctor's Care after 18 years. Becky and Bill were faithful members of Mt. Hebron United Methodist Church, where she was a member of the Hands for God Sunday School Class and the Clyde Hendrix #2 Circle. Known to many as "The Queen", Becky loved life and was always surrounded by family and friends. Wherever she was, her husband Bill was close by, along with a few tubes of lipstick. An avid sports fan, she could often be found cheering on The Gamecocks, The Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, and Jeff Gordon. She will be dearly missed by many, including their beloved cat, Smokey. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, November 25th at 12 p.m. at Mt. Hebron United Methodist Church, 3050 Leaphart Road in West Columbia. The family will receive friends immediately following the service. Her final resting place will be with family in Norridgewock, Maine. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to Lexington Interfaith Community Services (LICS), 216 Harmon Street, Lexington, 29072 or to Boy Scout Troop 331 at Mt. Hebron UMC. Family and friends may sign the online guest book at www.thompsonsfuneral.com.

Dear Bill, Teresa and all the family,
I am saddened by the earthly loss of Becky. She will always hold a special place in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. I first met Becky when we worked at SCE&G in the '70s. It was so good to renew our friendship when I came to work at Mt. Hebron UMC. It is my prayer that each of you will feel God's presence with you, sustaining you, comforting you. Please remember, that while we mourn the loss of one so dear, we know with certainty that she is in the arms of our Lord Jesus. It is in His victory over death that we can rejoice and know that we will all be together in His holy presence someday.

Cal & I will keep you in our prayers. May God's comfort and peace sustain you in the coming days.
Yours in Christ, Lora & Cal
