IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Rebecca "Becca"
Reinke
March 31, 1986 – December 26, 2020
Rebecca "Becca" Reinke, age 34 of Mountain, and her husband, Joe, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, December 26, 2020. Becca was born on March 31, 1986 to Tony and Karen (Dunks) Powers in Green Bay. She graduated from Shawano Community High School in 2004. Becca went on to receive her bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. In 2008 she met her "Joey" and their personalities complimented each other's perfectly. On May 16, 2015, Becca was united in marriage to Joseph "Joe" Reinke at St. Mary's of the Lakes Catholic Church in Lakewood. Becca worked as a Purchasing agent for Nicolet Plastics, you could also find her bartending, beer carting, or "hustling" at Shawano Lake Golf Course, McCauslin Brook Golf Course or Old Town Hall. Becca enjoyed sporting flip flops year-round regardless of the weather and didn't possess what you would call an "inside voice". She enjoyed playing in volleyball, horseshoe and pool leagues with Joe, being outdoors, golfing, ice fishing, snowmobiling and snowboarding. Becca loved people in general and was very outgoing, often the life of the party. Her smile could light up the room and she made an impression on everyone she met. Her family was a huge part of her life, especially her many nieces and nephews. She was a wonderful aunt and loved them all dearly. Becca and Joe lived a full life in a short time. Their life was full of happiness and enough memories to last a lifetime for the beloved family and friends that they leave behind.
