Rebekah Schoemann

Rebekah Lynn Nicholas Schoemann, died unexpectedly on February 13, 2024, at the young age of 27. She was born the daughter of Jason “JD” and Jennifer Schoemann on May 11, 1996, in Wichita. Rebekah, fondly known as Bekah, Bekduh, or Beky, touched many lives with her vibrant presence, sense of adventure, and infectious enthusiasm. Bekah was a resident of Wellington, where she dedicated her life to her four beloved boys, embodying the role of a mother with unyielding love, grace and resilience. Her beauty and smile always lit up a room, she was always the life of the party.

Rebekah was an adventurous spirit who was always searching for new experiences. Her passion for tattoos made her a walking canvas and led her to become a budding tattoo artist. Her love for music was evident in the countless concerts she attended with friends and family, with the Kevin Gates concert in Wichita being a cherished memory. Rebekah also had a zest for cooking that she learned from her momma, creating delightful meals that she ensured her sister learned how to replicate.

She shared her love of adventure with her boys on trips to the zoo, the lake, or the trampoline parks. Bekah and her family loved spending their days together at the family pool with the grill fired up and the sounds of love and laughter filling the air. She was so proud of her siblings and her boys. Rebekah’s love for life was infectious, and her vibrant spirit will always be remembered. FAAFO (Just for you Sarah)
