Rebecca Caroline Hopkins

Rebecca’s journey began on June 11, 1971 to the delight of her parents Thomas and Joann Plummer of Modesto, CA.  Rebecca Caroline Hopkins passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her loving family and friends on September 15, 2017, due to complications from ALS.  She was preceded in death by her father Thomas Plummer Jr. and leaves behind her daughter Kaylee Hopkins, of Modesto, her mother Joann Plummer of Modesto, CA, brothers Matthew Plummer of Modesto, CA, Andrew (Malka) Plummer of Houston, TX, sister Carole (Cory) Phipps of Modesto, CA and many beloved nieces and nephews who brought her so much joy.

Rebecca known as “Becca” to all, who knew her, was a resident of Modesto. She spent countless hours throughout her life as a caretaker in the home healthcare industry, lovingly providing assistance for those that needed it the most.  She never met a stranger and her family referred to her as the social butterfly.  One of her most treasured relationships was her daughter Kaylee; she meant the world to her and enjoyed every moment spent with Kaylee.  She was a year-round avid sports enthusiast, and especially enjoyed watching her beloved San Francisco Giants and Golden State Warriors.  One of her best days in the last few months was to attend her 1st SF Giants Game with her family this past June 28th for ALS Awareness Day.
