Rebecca Lynne Malloy

Our beloved mother, Rebecca Lynne Malloy, known to many as Becky and to her closest family as "Nana", passed away on August 23, 2026 surrounded by her family. She was born on September 12, 1951, in Los Angeles, California. She was predeceased by her mother, Mary Jean Helfenstein, her youngest son, James Ray Whitehead, and who she would consider the love of her life, John Franklin Pagnella. She was a loving and devoted mother to Tina, Billy, and Jamie. She is also survived by Michael and Shawna, her biological children who were lovingly placed for adoption and later reunited with the family. She was "Nana" to Sarah (Drew), Jake (Doodles), Matthew (Mattie), TJ, and Juli, and a Great Nana to Sawyer. She is also survived by her sisters Gloria and Irene (ChiChi), and her brothers Mike and Sammy. She loved Harley Davidson, was an avid Raiders fan, and loved to tell stories of her past. Most of all, she loved her family. The family will hold a Celebration of Life ceremony at her home in Lady Lake, Florida on Wednesday, August 26, 2026 from 4:00-7:00 pm.
