Rebecca touched many people’s lives wherever she went with her fun loving, sassy and friendly ways. To know her was to love her! She loved to entertain friends and family. She was known for her home cooking, especially her cornbread dressing, chocolate gravy and salsa.
Rebecca had various jobs throughout her life including: grocery clerk and factory worker (Timex watches and bombs!). But she discovered her true calling as a caregiver to preschool children.

As adults many still took the time from their busy lives to stop in for a snack and a visit with “Miss Becky”.
