Rebekah grew up just north of Spokane in Newport, Washington. Her parents still live there, though her nine siblings have managed to spread out across the United States. Rebekah and her husband Aaron have four children, as a family they enjoy going to the movies, playing games, hosting dinners and just relaxing at home. Rebekah is incredibly committed to Joya.
