Rebecca R. Lothrop, 91, died April 27, 2016, at home, with her daughters, Peggy and Patty, by her side. She was born April 13, 1925, in St. Albans, the daughter of William and Dora Rediker.

She graduated from Crosby High School in 1943 and from the first graduating class of the United States Cadet Nurse Corps. Becky worked side-by-side with her husband, Roger, who fondly referred to her as "Honeypoop," operating Lothrop Ford in Belfast. Becky was a longtime member of the Belfast Curling Club and Northport Golf Club, which she was always proud to share the fact she'd made two holes-in-one with her grandchildren and son-in-laws. She was also an active member of the Waldo County Hospital Aid.

The most important thing to Becky was her family. She couldn't wait to see her daughters, son-in-laws and grandchildren. She enjoyed family gatherings, when she would cook a big meal for everyone. One of Becky's favorite times of the year was Christmas Eve, when she opened her home to family and friends to celebrate the holiday season with all the people she cherished and loved.

She was predeceased by her husband, Roger, who she fondly referred to as "Teeball"; her oldest daughter, Pamela; five brothers; and five sisters. She is survived by her two daughters, Peggy and her husband, Francis Bronsberg, and Patricia and her husband, Timothy Clark; six grandchildren, Roger Marx and his wife, Cathy, Richard Marx Jr. and his wife, Heather, Teryn Traynham and her husband, Ryan, Kristy Scullion and her husband, David, Brandon Clark and his wife, Lindsey, and Danielle Clark; and also several great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank Maine General Hospice in Gardiner, with a special thanks to Dr. Dohner, her nurse, Stephanie Berry, her aid, Julie Cloutier, and her hospice chaplain, Bill Meyer, for the amazing support and care they provide our family and Becky.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Maine General Hospice of Gardiner. There will be a memorial service at a later date at the convenience of her family.

Arrangements are under the care of Riposta Funeral Home.
