Rebecca Elizabeth Thorn
February 9, 1965 - December 18, 2021
Her family called her Bec or Becca. Her friends called her Becky. Our little sister was born at San Diego Naval Hospital in California, to Dr. James Thorn and Natalie (Peterson) Thorn. At 6 months old the family moved to Wenatchee, WA. Becca called Wenatchee her home for most of her life. She graduated from Eastmont HS and went on to Whitworth College in Spokane then trained as a CNA. Her life work was caring for the elderly and disabled, which she did with love and compassion for 25 years. She married Brian Carter, divorcing several years later. She met Terry Mullins, who was her companion until his death. Becca was a loving soul with a giving heart. She loved her cat Tabby, playing bingo and cards, making hook and latch projects, and visiting with friends on the phone. She is preceded in death by her parents, sister Marsha Bliggenstorfer, and infant brother Wayne Thorn. She is survived by sisters Suzanne (John) Porter- Wenatchee; Jamie Laliberte - Lake Stevens, WA; brothers Douglas Thorn-Redmond, WA; Roger Thorn - Kirkland, WA, and brother-in-law Richard (Cindy) Bliggenstorfer - Wenatchee; as well as many nieces and nephews whom she loved. Rebecca was diagnosed with COVID 19 and went into Central Washington Hospital on Feb. 2, 2021. She was in the hospital for 10 12 months until her death at CWH from the many complications due to COVID. We would like to thank her caregivers, the hospital staff at CWH; Vibra Acute Hospital, Portland, OR; Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital, Portland, OR; and OHSU, Portland, OR. We would also like to thank Dr. Richard Beukema at CVCH and Dr. Scott Schroeder for their care through the years. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
