Rebecca was a long-time employee of Rose’s Department Store in Wise, Va. where she made many lifelong friends. She also worked at the Buster Brown factory in Wise, Va. and then finished her career at New Vision Optical in Wise, Va.

Becky was a people person. Everywhere she went, she ran into someone she knew and stopped to chat. She enjoyed many adventurous travels and getting out for the day with her husband. If she was home, she would spend hours on the phone providing insight, care and guidance to her many family members and friends.

To know Becky was to love her. She brought joy and kindness to all. She was a bright light that touched so many lives. She will be sorely missed!

A special thanks to the wonderful staff at Holston Valley Medical Center, especially Joseph and Sydney.
