Beautiful tribute to a lovely lady your pch dietary family will miss you lori.
I will truly miss Rebecca every time I volunteer at PCH; our years of service at the hospital overlapped, and I count myself blessed to have known her for the past 10 years. Quiet dedication to her work, lovely smile, and a joy to know her; I trust she is rejoicing with the angels this Christmas and forever more. Charlene Petersen

I’m a co-worker of Becky’s. Saddened by this loss. Godspeed. Prayers of comfort and deepest condolences to her friends and family.
I was saddened to hear of your loss. Your all in my thoughts, my heart and prayers.
Becky and I have been best friends since the fifth grade. We lost contact for several years and had just started talking again. I miss her so much. I miss her so much! We had so many memories in our childhood. In fact most of my childhood that I can remember she is in them. She was at the hospital when I have birth to my first baby. She was such a beautiful soul and I loved her so much. She will truly always be my best friend. Fly high baby girl until we meet again.
Glenna and family,so sorry to hear of Becky’s passing. She was a beautiful young lady . Our love and prayers are sent your way . The Relford’s ..Jean J.R. Harry and Pat
I have so many great memories of Becky. We were friends since 8th grade & lost touch for about 5 years & reconnected & found out we lived near eachother, then we moved 10 mins away when we built our new house. We began extremely close seeing each other at the least on a monthly bases, usually weekly over the past 8 years. I lived w/ her for 5 months at the beginning of the year & we became even closer. She was always there for me & was such a caring person. We laughed more than I could possibly count. I am so blessed to have had her as such a great friend. I loved our talks & her very unique personality, she was like no other. She never judged me & loved me despite that I’m sure I wore her out w/ my problems. She was always there! I often asked her to come over on her way home from work to hang out, many times she would. We didn’t even have to be doing anything. I just loved being around her, I never doubted her loyalty & love she had for me. I love her so much & will miss her so much, we have had so many talks on so many subjects. I loved being around her & her family, many good memories, to many to count. I’ll continue to pray for her family & friends.
Adrianne, Rebecca always talked about How close you were and how much she loved you. I would be’ so bec whadcha do last night’ she’d say ‘ just hung out with Adrianne staying cool’. I had to respond to something you said in your post that about a hour ago I mentioned to my daughter and that is that Rebecca never judged me. When I would go off on some crazy rant that clearly made me look like a fool she would just say ‘ o Debra you know I love you ‘ and I did . She always made sure I knew it . She said it . She made you feel it. Its a very unique person that can do that for people. The people in her life knew she cared. I will miss her.
Wow, Debra I don’t know if you will see this, but I just saw this 5 months later, googling stuff. Thank you SO much! She always mentioned you to me as well. I think we were the same in not having a lot of friends but the relationships we had were SO special. I know she loved us both & knew we loved her to 🙂 I miss her so… It still doesn’t seem real to me 🙁
Becky always had a smile. Will be missed by your PCH family. Millissa
Although I personally did not Know Becky that well, my 3 year old daughter could not leave her alone at my niece’s wedding. She followed her around everywhere. My 3 year old knew Becky was a very special person and had not ever met her before this wedding. She will be missed.

Hello my name is Marilyn Turner and I run the Summer Breeze Tanning Salon in Cloverdale In. A friend called me this morning and told me about Rebecca.I was so shocked to hear about her. She would come into the salon to tan and always was very friendly and she would have me laughing before she would leave. I always kept her lotion for her so she wouldn’t forget it or if it was cold and left in the car in the winter. As soon as I saw her drive up in her jeep I ran to get her lotion and pull her card. I could tell by looking at her that she was a hard worker. Some days she would come in tired and after her tan she would feel better. I just wanted you to know her presence will be greatly missed. She was a very sweet person and I Know she will always be in our hearts. God be with you and your family. Marilyn
I remember the times when we would all hang out when we teens at Life Line. She was a good friend and always made me laugh. She will be mised.
I met this wonderful young lady 23 years ago. You couldn’t help but love this beautiful person. My heart is broken with this tragic loss but with God’s grace and the wonderful memories, healing begins.
I have so many special memories of Becky but I guess if I had to pick one it would be the one where several of the families from church went to Hoosier Hills camp to pick up our kids that had been there all week and we went down on Friday and camped out and Becky went with us and her and stayed in our car and literally talked all night. We talked about everything under the sun. We laughed and cried and I will always treasure my time with our sweet Becky. Miss you now but I will see you soon. Because our God is so good.
As a Teen Leader Becky became one of ‘our kids’. We talked laughed and cried together. As an adult Becky became a very special friend (still one of ‘ our kids’). A friend that we loved so much, a friend that when she hurt we hurt, and when she laughed we laughed. Becky we love you so much – you have, and always will have a very special place in our hearts. We will never forget the blessing it has been to be a part of your life, and you a part of ours. Your smile and laugh will live in our hearts forever untill we meet in Glory.
