Rebecca Lee Edwards Thanos, a beloved member of the community, recently passed away due to unexpected heart problems. Her sudden death has left her family and friends in mourning and facing financial difficulties as they prepare for her farewell.
Estella Cantrell, Rebecca’s cousin, has organized a GoFundMe campaign titled "Assist Ulysses in Rebecca’s Unexpected Farewell" to help cover the costs associated with Rebecca’s cremation and memorial service. Estella describes Rebecca as a person who could always bring a smile to your face and be the support you needed, whether as a mother, sister, aunt, cousin, or best friend. She leaves behind her devoted husband, Ulysses, who has requested her cremation.
The memorial service for Rebecca will take place on Saturday, June 15th, 2024, at Upstate Family Funeral Services in Greer, SC. The financial burden caused by her unexpected passing has led Estella to seek support through the GoFundMe page. Estella invites donations directly through the campaign or in person at the funeral service.
On Facebook, Estella Cantrell shared, "Please help put my cousin to rest. If you are tagged, I don’t expect you to donate money, but if you could share it in hopes that someone will help, thank you a lot." The community’s response has been touching, reflecting the high regard in which Rebecca was held.
The fundraising goal is set at $1,000, and Estella emphasizes that any contribution will be greatly appreciated. The GoFundMe campaign provides a secure way for donors to contribute, offering a guarantee against fraud for up to a year.
Rebecca’s passing has not only left a void in the hearts of those who knew her but also highlighted the challenges families face when dealing with unexpected tragedies. The support from friends, family, and the community serves as a testament to the love and respect they have for Rebecca and their desire to fulfill her final wishes.
