Our sweet daughter Rabecka Heaton returned home to our Heavenly Father on February 20, 2022 surrounded by her family. Rabecka was born in St. George, UT to Ruth and LaMar Heaton. She started school at Centerville, UT elementary, then moved with her family to Clearfield, UT where she completed her elementary and middle school education then started her high school years. Toward the end of her sophomore year she again moved to Fredonia, AZ where she completed her high school education. In each location Rabecka lived she made friends quickly, most of which she stayed in contact with throughout her life.
After high school Rabecka was called to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Arkansas Little Rock mission, she loved serving the people there and again made many life long friends. After her mission Rabecka lived and worked in various locations in Utah. The work she loved most was her time with the American Red Cross where she worked as a phlebotomist.
During her battle with multiple sclerosis Rabecka never complained, but continued to find joy in loving and serving others the best way she could.
Survivors include her parents Ruth and LaMar Heaton; grandparents Zina & Neil (deceased) Wiltshire, and Gary & Karen Heaton; siblings Bryant (Taylor), Britany, Sarah, Kristen, and Jacob; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, February 26, 2022 at 11:00 AM in the Fredonia Arizona LDS Church. A viewing will be held Saturday from 9:30-10:45 AM at the Church. Burial will be in the Moccasin Arizona Cemetery after the services. Arrangements were made with Mosdell Mortuary.
Lamar and Ruth, I am so sorry to hear about Rebecca’s passing. Please accept my condolences.
