Rebecca's Story
Life
Married Darrell Lively in 1975. We have three grown children, 2 girls and one boy. We divorced in 1988. We are still good friends and we work together as parents and share babysitting duties for the grandchildren.
In July 1999 I married Phil Carey. We lived happily in Springfield for 7 years. Phil passed away August of 2006. I miss him.
I have 7 grandchildren who bring much light into my world.. All 3 of my children live close and I have the added blessing of getting to see them often and play with the grandbabies any time I feel the urge.
I worked as an administrative assistant at Chembond (aka Dynea, Neste Resins, Arclin) for 16 1/2 years. I worked at Symantec./Veritas until I retired in 2016.
