Rebecca enjoyed building and helped with the remodel of her home throughout the years and could do a miter cut on trim better than anyone and was very meticulous at anything she did. She loved spending time in her yard and used to work in it from daylight to dark; making flower beds, pulling weeds and mowing the lawn. She had one of the most beautiful yards in town and got yard of the month several times and really took pride in that. She enjoyed going to the grandkids sporting events when they were younger and the last couple years enjoyed watching her great grandsons, Easton and Jaxson play football a few times. She enjoyed going to craft shows with Diana, Cheryl, and Christina and trips to Amish Country and loved a new tradition we started a couple years ago of family game night on some holidays with Wesley, Jessica, Justin, Ellie, Christina, Diana, and Donnie, it was a great time for her. She also enjoyed working her puzzles.
At Rebecca’s request there will be no public viewing or visitation as her wish was to be cremated. A private memorial in her home will be held with immediate family present. Masters Funeral Home in Mannington is in charge of arrangements.
