Rebecca's deep faith as a devoted Christian guided her throughout life. Her love for her flowers and the outdoors, particularly her cherished roses, was admired by all who visited her home. She shared a special bond with her beloved dog, Shadow, who was her faithful companion. Rebecca's greatest joy came from her family, whom she always placed above all else.
