On Tuesday, November 18th, at 8:59 pm, Rebecca passed away from a disease that does not discriminate, was relentless, and was aggressive. In a direct quote from Rebecca in a note she left at work, “Looks like I’m dead, well shit.” She had the spirit of someone who was a spitfire, determined to fight this disease until her body ultimately became too tired. Cancer is an unjust beast. It does not feel fair. Despite our sadness, Rebecca would not want us to cry or be sad. She would want us to make our own sunshine in the face of tragedy, and this is truly a tragedy. She loved her husband, her family, her animals, and her job. She was a mortician by trade, a fitness/bodybuilding coach to many, a horse wrangler, a wife, a daughter, a sister, and a friend.

This is all very shocking to many and devastating to her family. Please give space and privacy to all of those who are grieving and doing their best to process this at this time. Arrangements to celebrate Rebecca’s life will be announced. Thank you to all who have supported her throughout her life. She will be sorely missed, but her bright light will continue to shine.
