Obituary of Rebecca Lindgren Rupp

Rebecca (Lindgren) Rupp, age 77, of Maple Grove, MN and Tucson, AZ passed away unexpectedly on July 11, 2020. Preceded in death by her beloved husband, John; sister, Teira Davies; parents, Taimi and Ernest Lindgren; and very special dog, Taylor. Survived by daughter, Julie Sturek; son, Steve Hibbs (Kate); grandchildren, Stephen Sturek, Michael Sturek, William Sturek, Charlie Hibbs, and Abby Hibbs. Rebecca was born in Cloquet, MN and graduated from Cloquet High School. She then attended St. Cloud State University. She was a kindergarten teacher for many years before becoming a stay-at-home mom. After that, she was a marketing manager until her retirement. “Grandma Becky” was her grandchildren’s number one fan – you could always hear her cheering loudly at their sporting events. A lover of puzzles, every gift she gave was a puzzle to solve before revealing the treasure she’d chosen for you. She poured her heart into being a grandma. Becky also loved to travel, especially with her husband. Whether a cruise to Alaska or a trip through Europe, you could count on her to come back with lots of pictures and great stories to tell. Becky suffered from Depression for many, many years and her death was the result of suicide. Mental illness is a silent killer. Please, if you know anyone who suffers from Depression or mental illness – reach out to them. There is always hope.
