Rebecca James

Ms. Rebecca Lorraine James, 72, of Paducah, Kentucky, passed away at her home on Thursday, June 26 2025.

Becky was a spirited soul who marched to the beat of a different drummer. She heaped care and affection upon her pets (dogs and cats alike), loved tending to her yard and flowerbeds while finding time and funds to donate to the Angels in Our Community Christmas program. She was also a 1970 graduate of Livingston Central High. She was born October 22, 1952 at the Princeton, KY hospital and for a time held the record for heaviest baby born there at 12 pounds.

She is survived by her sons Chris (Julie) Curry of Indianapolis, IN and Adam Ferrell (Megan Kelnhofer) of Columbus, OH; her sisters Patricia (Terry) Deese of Madisonville, KY, Donna James of Paducah, KY and Margie (Jim) Brindley of Little Elm, TX; her brothers Dr. Gary (Jerrell) James of Marion, KY and David (Connie) James of Joy, KY. She also leaves behind her grandchildren Phillip Curry, Gavin Walls, Greyson Walls, Paisley Walls and Beckham Ferrell.

Becky was preceded in death by her parents, O.B. and Evelyn (Quertermous) James.

In accordance with the family's wishes, no services will be held.
