Rebecca was a proud member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She enjoyed studying her family’s history with the help of her parents. She loved to garden and engage in all types of yard work. Her greatest passion, however, was her dedication to the elimination of homeless pets throughout the country via adoption and spay/neuter programs, and she was strong supporter of the Humane Society of the United States and Best Friends Animal Society. She was a devoted Christian. Rebecca will be cremated, and a memorial service will be held at Victory Methodist Church, Bowdon, GA, on Saturday, October 22nd, at 3:00 PM.
