Rebecca Joan Klockman

Rebecca was born February 25, 1960, in Winder, GA, where she grew up, and entered into the Air Force as soon as she graduated High School. She was first stationed in California, where she was married and started her family. She and her family were then stationed in Altus, OK until they returned to Winder in 1995. She pursued a higher education and earned her degree in accounting at Lanier Tech. Her passion was teaching young children, and she always had a way of making it fun for them. She was an incredible artist and loved to draw and paint. Rebecca was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother and cared deeply for her family. She cherished being a grandmother more than anything. In the last ten years of her life, she spent all of her time taking care of her grandchildren. When her first granddaughter was born in 2011, she spent the first four years acting as her "second mother". She then moved to Wyoming to take care of her son's children for four years. She returned to Georgia when she was diagnosed with cancer and fought her hardest so she could be here for her family. She is loved more than words can say and will be missed so much by everyone who knew her. She will be in our hearts forever.

Survivors include her children: Jennifer and Christopher Klockman; brothers: Luther “Luke” Perry and Jerry Perry; sisters: Judy (Robert) Harris and Janice Perry; and grandchildren: Adalyn Klockman-Stueber, Steele Klockman and Paisley Klockman.
