Rebecca June Nanna Rebecca was 41 years when she passed, leaving behind parents, Carrie and Charles, her brother Matthew, plus many extended family members: aunts, uncles and cousins as well as loving friends. From early childhood Rebecca displayed a passion for the rescue and safety of animals in need of help and medical care.

She was motivated by love and the willingness to help others by her Buddhist beliefs. Rebecca had a love of travel and had the opportunity to visit many interesting places throughout the world. She loved learning of the different cultures and capturing the people in photographs. For the last several years of her life dancing became her therapy. Rebecca took Ballroom dance instruction and won many awards for her accomplishments. Her heart was filled with joy and laughter when she moved across the dance floor. During her 5 1/2 year battle with cancer she was able to encourage many newly diagnosed women, making friends with all who knew her. Dr. Saul Rivkin and his entire staff at Swedish Cancer Institute provided Rebecca with much love, care and support. Rebecca touched many lives and she will be missed by all her friends and family. We love you.
