Rebecca was born on August 5, 1936, in Marshall, Texas, to James Carroll Chambers, Sr. and Evelyn Faye Finley Chambers, and she passed away on December 28, 2024, in Marshall, Texas.

She was a 1955 graduate of Marshall High School. She married Billy Ray Evers on June 14, 1955, and the two remained married until his passing in 2010. She worked for years as a secretary and receptionist at Carlisle Pounds and Fitts before finishing her outside-of-the-house career in Harleton as a secretary and receptionist for Mr. Ben Newman at San Juan Corp then at Newman Corp. She never attended college but typed and edited enough research papers to have earned a degree. She was and remains a blessing to all who knew her. Her legacy is stored gently in the hearts of her family.

She was preceded in death by her parents, James and Evelyn Chambers; husband, Billy Evers; and brother, JC Chambers, Jr.

She is survived by her children, Nan Evers, Renate Jeffcoat and husband, Scott, Craig Evers, and Kevin Evers and wife, Rachel; brother Finley Chambers; nine grandchildren, eight great grandchildren, and numerous nieces, nephews, and other family and friends.

Serving as pallbearers are Garrett Jeffcoat, Knox Jeffcoat, Austin Evers, Asher Evers, Toven Evers, Jeff Mayfield, Levi Yancy, Zatravius Hawkins, Riley Cordova, Everett Cordova, Ethan Buckalew, and Danny Burrow, and honorary pallbearers will be her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

The family would like to extend a hearty thank you to Mrs. Donnie Jean McClendon and Mrs. Genia Lynn Cooner for the care they showed her during the last years of her life and to Encore Hospice for providing comfort during her last days.
