Posted

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Rebecca Lynn Warren Thompson, age 62, of Collinwood, TN, who left this world on January 4, 2026. She was born on July 25, 1963, in Savannah, TN, the daughter of the late Billy Cleo and Sally Marie Staggs Warren.

Throughout her life, Rebecca dedicated herself to her work, sharing her talents at South End Manufacturing, Levi's, and Angelica Manufacturing Company. In 2004, she found love and partnership with her husband, Dennis Richard Thompson, Sr., creating a bond that brought joy to both their lives.

Rebecca's vibrant spirit shone brightly in the little things she cherished most—she loved listening to music that stirred her soul and enjoyed the art of photo editing, capturing precious moments in time. Yet, what she cherished above all was the time spent with her family, whose happiness was always her greatest joy.

Rebecca's legacy lives on through the memories she made and the love she spread. As we celebrate her life, we will forever hold her close in our hearts, remembering a warm spirit who brightened the lives of everyone around her.

Thompson, Sr.; sons, Dennis Thompson, Jr. "DJ" (Terra Elizabeth) and Billy Wayne Warren; daughter, Becky Rene Thompson; sisters, Donna Faye Staggs (Gary Brent) and Lisa Ann Shultz; brothers, Billy Vernon Warren and Ricky Lynn Warren; grandchildren, Tucker Lee Thompson, Courtney Cheyenne Thompson, Dillon Chase Thompson, Samantha Dawn Warren, Isaiah Allen Stricklin, Colton Wayne Warren, Luna Michelle Warren, Tiffany Nicole Thompson, and Kimberly Hope Lester; great- grandchildren, Kashton Thompson, Karson Thompson, Kyson Thompson, Rosalena Grace Thompson, Kayleigh Alexandria Lester, and Zara Leslie Quigley; and several nieces and nephews.
