Rebecca worked as a bookkeeper most of her life and volunteered in that capacity quite often. She also enjoyed serving as the record keeper for the many bowling leagues in which she participated. Rebecca lived in at least eight states over her life, and was actively involved in all the churches across the country in which she was membered. Most recently, she attended Venture Church in Westfield. Rebecca enjoyed bowling, fishing, crocheting and crossword puzzles. She was active in the Civitan International organization for many years. In 2000, she realized her dream of owning a bookstore by opening Becky's Book Nook in Frankfort. She bowled with Bill in couple's leagues and individually all her adult life. In 2004, Rebecca won the Indiana State Senior Women's bowling tournament and went on to Nationals in Las Vegas. She also collected ships and lighthouses, and simply adored the coastal area in Mississippi where she grew up. More than anything else, Rebecca enjoyed her family. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Every square inch of the walls of her home were covered with photos of her family. That devotion is a legacy her family cherishes.
