Rebecca was born on April 24, 1954, in Morgantown, West Virginia, to William and Evelyne (Sweeney) Deaner Sr. She was a longtime resident of Shelby, graduating with the class of 1972.

She loved playing cards, board games, going to the beach, camping, watching softball, reading, and her beloved dogs. Although by far, her favorite past time was spending time with her family. She was feisty, a bit ornery and not afraid to say exactly what she thought. She loved with her whole heart and enjoyed having the house where her family and all her children’s friends liked to gather. She was the glue that kept everyone together.
