After a very short, but courageous battle with cancer, Rebecca Ann Price went home to be with her Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. She was a Christian, strong in the fight and is now rejoicing in the victory that Christ has won for her. She never voiced a single complaint even in the face of death and was a great blessing and comfort to her whole family as they helped her in struggles.
Becky was the daughter of the late Luther Purdee and Lillie Beatrice Reaves. She was born to them on October 23, 1946. She was married for 46 years to her loving husband, Charles Franklin Price, Jr. and they were life-long residents of Winston-Salem. She was preceded in death by her mother and father and a loving and caring step-mother, Cassie Newsome Reaves. Also preceding her in death was a beloved sister, Bonnie (Zeno) Marshall.
Surviving are a daughter, Wendy Price of Winston-Salem and a son, Eric Price; and their two daughters, Emmaral, and Irelyn, all of Winston-Salem and whom she loved very much; a wonderful brother and sister-in-law, Jimmy Purdee and Helena Reaves of Welcome, NC; and two wonderful sisters, Mary Knight of Winston-Salem, and Frances (David) Phillips of East Bend. She is also survived by a large number of nephews and nieces.
