Rebecca "Becky" Abercrombie, a treasured soul whose laughter and love of life enriched all who knew her, passed away peacefully in her hometown of Greenville, SC, on May 24, 2024, at the age of 43. Born on January 2, 1981, in the same close-knit community, Becky was the cherished daughter of Deedra Abercrombie and the late James Abercrombie. She grew up alongside her beloved sister, Jessica Abercrombie, and was the adored aunt to her nephew, Israel "Bubba" Abercrombie. Her grandmother, Frances Lewallen, and uncle, Mark Lewallen, also survive her, and they, along with her entire family, will forever hold her memory in their hearts.
Becky's infectious humor and thoughtful nature made her a beacon of joy and a pillar of strength within her family and circle of friends. She possessed a courageous spirit that inspired those around her to embrace life's challenges with grace and a smile. Becky's passion for the outdoors was evident in her love for cookouts and fireworks, and she found great pleasure in the simple act of making bacon at her nanny's house in the early morning hours. Her laughter during these times became as essential to the family's gatherings as the events themselves.
Her life was a testament to the power of joy and the importance of creating memories with those we love. Becky's ability to find the humor in any situation and her talent for making others feel valued and heard will be sorely missed. She had a unique way of turning everyday moments into lasting memories, and her absence will leave a void that cannot be filled.
As we say farewell to Becky, we are reminded of the impact one life can have on so many. She was a woman who lived with purpose, loved without reservation, and laughed with her whole being. Becky's presence was a gift, and though she has left this world too soon, the echoes of her laughter and the warmth of her spirit will continue to resonate with us all.
We take comfort in knowing that Becky's story does not end with her passing, for she has left behind a legacy of love and laughter that will be cherished and shared by all who were fortunate enough to have known her. As we gather to remember her, we will recount the stories that capture the essence of her character – the funny, thoughtful, and courageous woman who enriched our lives immeasurably.
The world is a little less bright without Becky Abercrombie's radiant smile, but the memories she created during her time with us will continue to light the way for those she loved. As we honor her life and all that she meant to us, we hold her close in our thoughts, knowing that her spirit will forever be a part of the fabric of our lives. Becky's journey on earth has concluded, but the love she shared remains eternal.
