Rebecca Kennedy Brackin

Rebecca (Becky) Kennedy Brackin, 81, left this earthly world to meet Our Lord and Savior on November 11, 2024, under the care of Ogeechee Hospice and Glenvue Health and Rehab. Becky was born November 27, 1942, to Carl Alfred Kennedy, Jr. and Lois Ann Hopkins Kennedy in Reidsville, GA at the Jelks Clinic. 

Becky graduated from Glennville High School in 1960 and left home for nursing school. While working in Hinesville GA and going to school she met the love of her life Gene, who was stationed at Ft Stewart GA, and they married on November 1, 1962. Together they had three children. 

Becky enjoyed lots of hobbies, but the one thing she loved the most was singing gospel music. She loved her Lord Jesus. As a young girl she sang several times on the radio. Among her hobbies she was a good cake baker and owned her own cake business in Warner Robins for many years. She and her husband Gene also did wood crafting together and could be found in Perry doing shows in the past years. She loved anything she could do with her hands and anything that had to do with sharing time with family. Family gatherings were one of her favorite things to do. 

Becky worked many years in the medical field caring for others. She was a natural caregiver. Her nursing career included working for Dr Irwin and Lawrence County Hospital in Moulton, AL and she worked for Glenvue Health and Rehab, formerly known at that time as Glennville Nursing Home in Glennville, GA. She left the medical field and went to work for the State of Georgia as a correctional officer and there she stayed until she retired.
