Rebecca Lynne passed away on January 24, 2019 in a car accident in Grapeland, Texas. She was preceded in death by her mother, Betty Jo Ann Ramey-Burke and Father, Johnny Parks Burke. She is survived by her children, Jason Kornegay and wife 12, of Elkhart, Texas and Kindra Kornegay Binge and husband J.R. Binge of Montgomery, Texas along with their father, Keith Kornegay of Spring, Texas. She leaves behind 5 amazing grandchildren that were her whole world: Kaden Kornegay 18, Jace Kornegay 15, Emily Kor precious negay, Connor Benge 15 and Callie Benge 12. She is also survived by her two sisters Cynthia Burke Havens of Elkhart, Texas, Melanie Burke of Elkhart, Texas and her beloved brother, Steve Burke of Houston. She leaves behind her precious Aunt Bllie Sue Smith of Houston whom she looked to as a mother after losing hers at an early age.
Rebecca was born in Houston, Texas on August 25, 1957. She attended Spring High School. After Graduating she attended college. Most of her adult life was spent working on and off for her father at Burke's Upholstry and other jobs in the interior design field. She was very gifted at seeing color, design and pattern for every aspect of the design industry.
She loved her siblings and was inseperable from them. They all had the best time together and remained very close.
She raised her children with a loyalty that her children will never forget, they could do no wrong in her eyes. She loved them so well and passed this fierce love onto her grandchildren. The world stopped and started with each of them. She spent her time attending their functions. From basketball games, cheerleading events, choirs, tumbling classes, sewing with them, watching Jace ride dirt bikes and to rodeos. Her main goal in life was to be around family. She loved when her grandkids were all together with her riding horses, searching for arrowheads or just having them over watching a movie all snuggled in her house together. She planned regular Nana's Night Out events. The kids would come back hysterically laughing and sharing stories of the comical things they saw and heard her do. The many memories she made with them will always be some of the best of their lives. For that we are thankful.
Besides being surrounded by family, her passions included history, genealogy, her dogs and traveling to Europe. She had always wanted to be a missionary and to bring the gospel to the people of Africa, sadly she never got to. You would always find her by creek beds searching for arrowheads on her fathers's land. She and her dad, Johnny Burke, were two of a kind. She loved him so very much and was shattered when he lost his battle with cancer two years ago.
She was Aunt Becky to Jeremy Willis, Ashlie Bickford, Victoria Havens, Wes Burke, Chase Burke, Brittny Knight, Courtney Findley, Chance Walker and John David Hicks. She also leaves behind great nieces and nephews who she loved so dearly.
She bragged on everyone she knew. She made it her goal to make everyone feel good about themselves and she brightened up every room she walked in. She would give you anything you needed. She was kind, loving, caring, sensitive and hilarious. She leaves behind a huge void in our lives. We know that her faith in her savior, Jesus Christ, has brought her into his immediate presence the moment she passed from this world and into his loving embrace.
Funeral services were Tuesday, January 29, 2019 at 2 PM at the Evangelistic Temple, In Palestine, Texas burial followed at Pilgrim Cemetery, near Elkhart, Texas.
