Rebecca graduated from Keota Schools in 2002. Her life was a life devoted to service. She so wanted to be in the military, but her hip just wouldn’t allow it.

She then went back to LeFlore County as a Sheriff’s Deputy. She went to Puerto Rico and helped with hurricane Maria clean up. Then she came home and worked for Muskogee County and Wagoner County Sheriff’s Departments before returning overseas this time to Afghanistan. She came back home and worked as an officer for Porum and Quinton and was teaching Cleet classes. In between all that, when possible, she worked security for Rocklahoma. She loved the water, whether it was being on the lake in a boat or jet ski or walking along the shore. It was calming and soothing to her.
