Rebecca Jean "Beckie" Kaley, 57, of Lebanon, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, May 12, 2026 at her home.

Born in Lebanon, Pennsylvania on May 10, 1969, Beckie was the daughter of Addie (O'Donnell) Kaley and the late Tom Kaley.

Beckie was a high-spirited, hardworking soul loved by her very large family and many friends. She loved animals, traveling and spending time at the beach.

Beckie graduated from Lebanon Catholic High School in 1987, and succeeded in several occupations before earning a Bachelor of Science Degree from Albright College in 2014 and a Master's Degree in Business Administration from Elizabethtown College in 2017 all while working full-time.

Beckie was an avid animal lover and couldn't resist taking in dogs and cats in need of a good home. She volunteered at the Penn State Children's Hospital where she cuddled babies in the neonatal intensive care unit. Beckie served on the Board of Compeer of Lebanon County and was always ready to offer a helping hand when summoned.

In addition to her mother, she is survived by a brother, Tom Kaley, Jr., many aunts, uncles, cousins and longtime friend, Dave Wallace.
