Her Story

Rebecca was born on August 16, 1951, in Sacramento, California, to parents George and Wyneth Clark. Her family would end up moving south and eventually to a new home in La Habra, California.

It is there in La Habra where she would become neighbors with the DeBooy family and a young Mark DeBooy. The two would later fall in love and marry, having two children of their own, Jason and Jennifer. Rebecca and Mark would go on to be married for over 50 years!

Rebecca loved to travel. With her family she would travel on many camping and fishing trips throughout California's Sierra Nevada mountains and other places around the country. In retirement, she and Mark continued to travel around the United States as she fulfilled a goal of hers to visit all 50 states and capitals.

She also traveled to other countries around the world, going on trips and cruises with her friends. There was never a time she wasn't planning another trip to some far off location.

Multitudes of pictures would always return with her, as she loved to take photos of all her journeys. She spent many an hour organizing and editing all the pictures she accumulated over the years. She leaves behind a mountain of pictures of friends, family and places she loved.

In December of 2025, Rebecca fell ill and was hospitalized. It was revealoed that she had a form of blood cancer, Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). She was treated and returned home in January of 2026. However, as time went, her body was getting weaker. She fought it as best she could, but complications of the cancer and treatment found her back in the hospital in July of 2026. She passed away soon after on July 12, 2026.

Rebecca is loved by her many family members and friends alike. Throughout her life she returned that love to all. She was a beautiful woman in mind, body and soul.

May she rest in peace.
