Rebecca Elliott

Rebecca “Becky” Joan Elliott, born September 14, 1942 to Robert James and Margaret Rowene Kumpe and sister to Robert James Jr., passed away peacefully at Northwest Ohio Hospice surrounded by family on July 13, 2023. Sincere appreciation to all of the doctors, nurses and caregivers who cared for her over the years.

If you have lived in Maumee, Ohio you may have had Becky as your 4th grade teacher, seen her at Dino’s Restaurant, prayed with her at Maumee United Methodist Church or cheered with her at a baseball game.

Jim “Senior” is the love of her life. They first met when Jim had her dad as a Little League Baseball coach and she was the bat girl. They started to date in high school and continued while attending Bowling Green State University where she was in the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority and received her degree in education. They married August 21, 1965 and over the course of 57 years together, left a legacy we all celebrate today.

Becky and Jim raised 3 sons, Jim (Kara), Greg (Krista), Doug (Jackie) and consider Donald (Amey) McGlenn their 4th. She was proud of and loved dearly her 10 grandchildren Derek, Samantha, Noah, Lucca, Santino, Pia Rose, Hadley, Ethan, Victoria and Hudson.

The Elliott’s always come together for holidays and family celebrations that include a lot of Lebanese food, laughter, stories and games of chase the ace. Becky loved all of her extended family; brother and sister in laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles.

Raising three boys, she was not a stranger to baseball parks. From little league to college baseball she went to countless games! She even had numerous vacations at Williamsport, PA for the Little League World Series. It wasn’t always baseball…she also enjoyed trips to the Great Smoky Mountains, which was where Becky and Jim spent their honeymoon. As family grew, trips included visits to see grandkids in California and North Carolina.

Becky touched and impacted many lives. She taught 4th grade for 30 years at Wayne Trail Elementary. She was smart, witty, strong, loyal, loving and a fighter. She overcame many health challenges over the past 4 decades and even to the final one, she wanted to fight for another Christmas. Becky, we will make sure this year is extra special for you! You will be missed…and as you closed our greeting cards, “love you bunches!!”.
