Rebecca Brett Mahoney
July 25, 1983 - June 23, 2021
It is with great sadness that the family of Rebecca Brett Mahoney announces her passing after her battle with cancer on Wednesday, June 23rd, 2021 at the age of 37 years young in St. Augustine, Florida. Becky will lovingly be remembered by her husband of 14 years, Morris, her sons Mason and Jack, her father Bradford Brett (Linda) of Tequesta, FL, sister Kristin Brett Stephan (Derek) of Portland, OR, as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Becky was predeceased by her mother, Elizabeth Rankin Brett. Becky grew up in Jupiter, Florida. While attending high school, she was in numerous clubs and organizations, played several sports, and maintained a perfect GPA. She later attended the University of Florida working towards her Masters in Accounting. While it may surprise some, Becky spent an entire summer abroad by herself. First, she lived with a family in Spain, then went hang-gliding in France, and then even had a motorcycle ride on the outskirts of the Swiss Alps. Becky left Gainesville with a lifetime of memories and also with her future husband, Morris Mahoney III. They married in 2007 and Becky went on to receive her CPA and work as Senior Tax Accountant for Ernst and Young for five years. Becky and Morris gave birth to their first son, Mason Brett Mahoney, in 2011. Determined to further her professional career, she moved to CSX Railroad as Income Tax Manager in 2012. Soon after, she gave birth to their second son Jack Owen Mahoney. Becky, Morris and the boys settled in St. Augustine, Florida. Becky loved the outdoors and she cherished sharing her outdoor experience with loved ones. Becky’s perfect vacation was packing up her family and camping for a week in Yellowstone National Park. She wanted her boys to appreciate nature like she did so she and Morris made sure to visit as many National Parks as possible. When she wasn’t dreaming of the mountains of Olympic National Forest, Becky treasured any beach, river, lake, or trail. She also was an avid reader and researcher on anything and everything. She was a dedicated and loving wife and mother that concentrated on her boys’ and husband’s wellbeing. Her family was her priority. A celebration of life is planned for Friday, August 27th at 10:30AM at Craig Funeral Home 1475 Old Dixie Highway St. Augustine, FL 32084 In lieu of flowers, the family prefers that donations be made, in Becky's honor, to Reverb Church's Kingdom Builder's Fund (Building), at https://reverb.church/giving/. Thank you.
