Rebecca Grace Childs

April 27, 2010 By Hall-Wynne Leave a Condolence

Rebecca Grace Childs, 23, died unexpectedly on April 27, 2010 following a courageous battle with an extremely long and difficult illness. Rebecca was born in Voorhees, NJ to Carol McCann Childs and the late Peter Phipps Childs, Sr.

Rebecca graduated from Haddonfield Memorial High School in 2005, and moved to Raleigh the following year. She continued her education, and in May of 2009 became a graduate of Wake Technical Community College. Rebecca loved learning, and would often be found reading a new favorite book or spending time in a library. Greater than her thirst for knowledge was the love and devotion that she had for her family and friends.

Rebecca is survived by her mother Carol McCann Childs of Raleigh, NC; sister Rachel Elizabeth Childs of Raleigh, NC; and brother Peter Phipps Childs Jr. of Raleigh, NC. She is predeceased by her father Peter Phipps Childs, Sr.

Funeral Services will be held at 1:30 PM on Saturday, May 1, 2010 from Millbrook United Methodist Church, 1712 E. Millbrook Rd., Raleigh, NC. The Rev. Greg Moore will officiate.

Family will receive friends 30 minutes prior to the service at Millbrook UMC.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Rebecca’s Name to the Collingswood Public Library, Attn. Children’s Section, 771 Haddon Ave., Collingswood, NJ 08108.

    Dear Carol and family
    There is little one can say at a time like this. My prayers are with your family that you may heal and forever feel Becky in your heart. I hope you can take comfort in the words of Chief Seattle when he said, “There is no death, only a changing of worlds.”

    Dear Becky’s Family, It is so hard to say good-bye to someone so young and with such bright promise. She surely is in a place of greater peace. My greatest sympathy to you, Kristine

    It was truly a pleasure to have known Becky. She was kind, caring, friendly, understanding, intelligent, and wise beyond her years. Becky will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
    Sincerely,

    Becky still lives on in our hearts, minds and souls. I can only imagine she and her Dad reuniting in heaven and how wonderful that must be for both of them. It is those of us left here on our temporary journey who mourn. She is at peace and still surrounded by love.

    Dear, dear Carol and family,
    Sue told me the news yesterday at the library. Nothing anyone can say could possibly take the pain away. Just know that more people than you realize are sending you love and our hearts are with you in sorrow.

    I am profoundly sad when I picture the world without Becky in it. She was so determined to live each moment to its fullest and I smile each time I picture her making friends and spending time with her beloved dad in Heaven. My deepest sympathy is with those she left behind.

    Dearest Carol, Our prayers and loving thoughts continue to surround you, Rachel, and Peter, for as long as needed and helpful. i’m remembering Psalm 23 with 6 wonderful verses of promise and reassurance… and all of them significantly comforting for each day, and especially for right now!
    May God be with you and in you.. all the time! ..God is Good!!
    Carol, Alan, and Lynne

    Carol, the truth is I just googled you out of curiosity and was shocked to see your most recent loss. It’s devastating that such tragedy has entered your life. I don’t know what to say that would bring any comfort. My thoughts & prayers will be with you. — Gary

    My daughter, Rachel, and my son, Peter, and I wish to thank all of you for your kind words, your heartfelt messages, and your prayers. We continue to be sustained by the outpouring of concern and compassion from so many. I would especially like to thank everyone who supported Becky through those last long months. Becky was so grateful to her friends for their steadfast strength, their gentle humor, and their generous faithfulness. Your kindness meant so much to Becky and to me. I thank you all.
    Lovingly and gratefully,
    Carol
