Rebecca Louise Gann, 47, of Atchison, KS, passed away on February 5, 2022, at Mosaic Life Care.

Rebecca was born on August 14, 1974, in Atchison, KS, to Ricky McHaley and Cindy Whaley. She attended Atchison High School and worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant for many years before becoming a homemaker.

Rebecca was married to her husband Scott Gann on August 30, 1990. Scott and Rebecca had five children together, and Rebecca always said she wanted twenty-five grandchildren to expand her loving family. Those close to Rebecca would describe her as strong-willed, big-hearted, and the rock of her family. Family was the centerpiece of her life, and together with Scott, she raised kind, compassionate, and headstrong children.

She loved crystals, connecting with nature, gardening with her husband, and planning events for her family to gather together. Rebecca enjoyed riding on the back of Scott’s motorcycle and had plans to travel across the United States in a refurbished RV, one of her many dream projects. She could often be found cooking meals for large gatherings, listening to her favorite songs, and sitting outside when the weather was nice. Rebecca would help anyone in need and was the protector of her family – her family knows that she will continue to protect those she loved and bless them for all time.

Rebecca is survived by her loving husband Scott Gann; her children Scott Allen Jr., Bristal Louise, River Eugene, Savannah Ann, and Autumn Rain; grandchildren Gaige Lee, Carter Allen, Cash Louis, Dexter Elrie, and Kenna Louise; her mother Cindy and father Ricky; four sisters Wendy, Angela, Linda, and Elizabeth; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Rebecca’s Celebration of Life will be held from 2:00 to 3:30 PM, Saturday, February 12, 2022, at Arensberg Pruett Funeral Home in Atchison, KS. Family and friends are encouraged to join the family in celebrating Rebecca’s loving, beautiful spirit. The family encourages visitors to wear casual color dress rather than black formal dress, as it is a Celebration of Life.
