Rebecca's greatest love was to be outdoors - cultivating abundant flower gardens, growing tender stalks of asparagus and juicy peaches, tromping through the woods in search of invasive plants, motoring around Penobscot Bay with her husband Charlie in their boat Sunrise, mowing fields with her 1958 Farmall Cub tractor, and sitting by the ocean with the sun on her face and a good book in her hand.
