Surrounded by her loving family, Rebecca
Francis of Kingsclear First Nation passed away on Friday November
20th, 2020. Born in Fredericton she
was a daughter of the Clarence “Timer” Atwin and the late
Mary Catherine Devoe.
Rebecca was a loving and caring person; she was
the glue that held the family together. She was our
mother. Known for her sense of humor, she enjoyed watching
the W network. Rebecca loved Christmas and Boney M
music. An animal lover at heart, she took in strays and fed
them. Rebecca was proud of her culture and one of the very
few remaining Wolastoqiyik language carriers. She was the
one that we turned too for advice on how to
cook.
Rebecca will be deeply missed by her children;
Chrissy Francis (Chelsey), Vincent Francis (Donna), Ryan Francis,
Bruce Francis, Shaun Francis and Bett Francis (Kristine),
her much loved grandchildren; Aneesa, Cipriana (Jake), Natawne,
Tatiana, Brett Jr., Drake, Abel and Trya, one great granddaughter
Zayda Perley, a chosen sister Rosemary Young, niece Charlee Paul, god
children Terry and Eric T as well as several cousins. She
was predeceased by her husband Vincent Francis, grandchildren Turell
and Jenna-Marie, sister Paula Paul and chosen sister Freda Berube,
several aunts and uncles and her Pomeranian
Baby.
Visitation will be held at her home, 606
Apartment lane, Kingsclear First Nation, on Saturday November
21st starting at 6 PM and Sunday all
day. A Funeral Mass will be held on Monday November
23rd at 11 AM from St Ann’s
Kingsclear Catholic Church. Interment will be held at a
later date.
Donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer

Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Rebecca Francis 19492020..
