Rebecca Ellis Fields

She is preceded in death by: Nephew Christopher Scott Reese, her parents Louise Cole Ellis (Mom), John Willie Ellis (Dad)

Her greatest joy in life was being a Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother. She enjoyed spending time with family and cooking with her Mom on holidays.

The challenge of putting jigsaw puzzles together was more than just a hobby, they were a passion that brought her joy, a calming peace with a sense of accomplishment.

Some of Rebecca and Larry’s happiest moments in their life together was spent by the ocean, rivers and mountain waterfall places that brought them comfort.

She is survived by her husband Larry Gaulin, daughter Stephanie Thompson Spivey (Dylan), of Laurel Hill, Son Jason Michael Thompson of Marston; Sisters Ann Ellis Smith of Laurinburg, Kim Ellis Clark (Deon) of Wagram. Grandchildren Samantha Spivey Butler (Bailey) of Hamlet, Sage Makala Spivey (Daniel) of Maxton. Great-Grandchildren Adalyn, Wyatt, Atlas, Nephew Jimmy “Jay” Reese, Jr. (Nicole), many nieces, nephews and many loving friends.

A Memorial service will be held at Coble Funeral & Cremation Service at Greenlawn Memorial Park, 1155 Shipyard Blvd, Wilmington, North Carolina 28412, on October 19, 2026, from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm.
