Rebecca's family and friends were always at the center of her life. She treasured the moments spent together, creating lasting memories filled with love, laughter, and joy. Her compassion knew no bounds, and she often went out of her way to help those in need.

In her free time, Rebecca enjoyed tending to her flower garden, taking long walks in nature, and cooking delicious meals for her loved ones. Her homemade Cajun dishes were a testament to her talent in the kitchen.
