She attended Casper College and received an associate's degree in business.

Rebecca had a strong faith in God, loved to help people and strived to make the world a better place.

She was a pro-life advocate throughout her life with her whole family thankful and proud to be by her side. She also attended the 2017 March for Life with her three daughters and son Justin. She always had great joy when lives were saved. Rebecca was a very gifted singer starting at a young age; she performed in Little Miss and was in choir throughout junior high and high school. In her early 20's she had recorded two albums and starred in a silent black and white film with Bill Paxton and her father, Armin. She sang for St. Anthony Tri-Parish Churches for many years as well as at weddings and funerals. Most recently she sang with her daughters in the 2017 Christmas choir at Highland Park Community Church. She was a loving mother, sister, daughter and grandmother. She loved spending time with her family and friends. We miss her dearly and look forward to the day we will all be together in Heaven, she has now been lovingly embraced by the ones who went before her. She is singing in the Heavenly choir praising her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
