East Windsor, CT – Rebecca (Shippee) Dumas, 69, formerly of N. Grosvenordale, passed away on Friday, January 11, 2019 in Fresh River Healthcare. Born in Southbridge, MA, she was the daughter of the late Warren and Andrea (Tetreault) Shippee.

Mrs. Dumas loved spending time with her children. She had a young and adventurous soul. This was most appreciated when she was playing with her grandchildren. She loved day trips with her sisters, viewing the fall foliage and antiquing. She loved to dance, and she always took the backroads.

Rebecca is survived by her son, Jeremy Dumas of Windsor, CT; daughter, Heather Dumas of Danielson; sisters, Cynthia Hackett of Sturbridge, MA, and Sandra Menard of Brimfield, MA; and eight grandchildren, Rachel Landow, Andrew Maher, Lauren Maher, Amanda Clifford, Bryan Clifford, Sara Clifford, Natalie Verraneault, and Derek Verraneault. Rebecca was predeceased by her brother Warren “Bobby” Shippee, and sisters Catherine “Carol” Gauthier and Susan Burlingame.

Funeral arrangements are private and have been entrusted to the Gilman Funeral Home and Crematory, 104 Church St. Putnam, CT. Memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, 200 Executive Blvd., Southington, CT 06489. For memorial guestbook visit www.GilmanAndValade.com.

    Dear Heather: I was very sad to hear about your mother’s passing. I know you must be very sad. She was well loved by you and your family as seen in the many photos you shared with me through the years. I love how the obituary was written! “Always took the back roads” means something to those of us who appreciate them! Heather, I will always have a picture in my mind of you and your brother in the back seat of your mom’s convertible with the top down, “riding the back roads”! Great memories. Keep them in your mind.

    I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to the Shippee’s and Dumas’ Family for your loss of a dear loved one. A loss of this type is always very difficult for both the families and friends, but God’s word offers the grand hope of a resurrection to life again. Jesus Chris said, “Do not be amazed at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out”. God’s word extends to all the wonderful promise of a resurrection to a better life! John 5: 28-29 Learn more about this resurrection at JW.ORG https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=share&prefer=content&applanguage=E&locale=en&item=docid-502017858_1_VIDEO&docid=1011214
