Rebecca Kay Whitaker
March 13, 1947 — February 11, 2026
The recipe for a well lived life according to Rebecca Kay Whitaker was simple: a cooking show on the TV, a garden full of flowers, a cat in your lap and a house full of grand kids. She peacefully departed from this life Wednesday, February 11, 2026 at her residence.
Rebecca was born on March 13, 1947 to the late Daymon & Gertrude (Waters) Childers in Somerset, Kentucky. She attended Trinity Fellowship Church.
She is survived by her children, Lisa & (Doug) Ridner, Jesse Shawn Whitaker, and Lora & (Phillip) Walker; her grandchildren, Samantha & (Joshua) Bannochie, Jesse Garron Whitaker, Elliott Dick, Carissa Whitaker, Sara Rose Walker, and Clayton Whitaker; great-grandchildren, Gracie Whitaker and Presley Moore; and a brother, Lowell Childers.
She was preceded in death by her husband, JD Whitaker; her parents; and her sisters, Dencie Cook and Lou Roberts.
