            Rebecca had been employed with Home Savings and Loan for eight years as a clerk in the loan department.  “Ree” enjoyed fishing, traveling, swimming, watching baseball and baking.

            She leaves to cherish her beloved memory, her daughter, Yvonne Baker of Boardman; foster daughter, LaTrell Stanford; cousin and caregiver, Waldine (Leroy) Arrington; niece, Antoinette Hunter; nephews, Michael, Chris and Anthony Henyard; and a host of other family and friends.
