Rebecca "Becky" Figueroa
Rebecca Figueroa was born on February 25, 1965 in Newark, NJ. Surrounded by the love of her family, she passed peacefully to her eternal home on January 16, 2025.
“Becky” as she was affectionately known, was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her journey on this earth was one marked by love, compassion, challenges, and unwavering faith in God. Her passing has left a void in the hearts of her family, friends, and many more whose lives were touched as they admired her courage and resilience.
Becky is survived by her loving sister and brother-in-law: Donna and Vic Palumbo. Becky was the cherished aunt of Victor Jr., Michael, Angelica, Jennifer, Alex, and Adam. She also leaves behind many great nieces and great nephews who adored her dearly. Her devoted cousins Peggy and Betty shared in her joyful spirit.
Becky is predeceased by her mother, Haydee Linares and her siblings: Joey, Tommy, Reinaldo, and Margie.
Becky had many interests. She loved bowling, swimming, and riding her bike. She was a participant in the Special Olympics in New Jersey and Florida and was proud of her many medals. She was a huge Disney fan, especially Mickey and Minnie; even her dog was named Mickey. She was happy-go-lucky and quite comical. She had a way about her where people were drawn to her. To know her, was to love her bright eyes and infectious smile. She had a rare gift for making others smile and laugh, leaving a lasting impact on all who crossed her path. Everyone loved Becky!
