Rebecca Zuniga, "Becky"

Passed away on June 24, 2025


Rebecca Zuniga, “Becky”, (nee Baker), age 55, late of Hegewisch passed away on June 24, 2025. Beloved wife of James Zuniga for 30 years. Loving mother of Clemens (Krystal) Gizynski, Brandon Gizynski, Zachary Gizynski, James (Katarina) Zuniga III, and Molly Zaid. Devoted grandmother of Zoe, Daelyn, Clemens IV, Heavenly, Sarinity, and Johnny. Dear daughter of Francine (Bill) Matzus. Dearest sister of Jennifer (Terry) Beck, late Marie Baker, Martin Flanagan and Jack (Rachel) Partner. Fond aunt of many nieces and nephews.  
 

Becky was a beacon of love and joy to all who knew her. She found great happiness in the simple pleasures of life—like enjoying morning coffees on her porch with her pets nearby, losing track of time in conversation, and listening to the chirps of the birds she lovingly fed. Music was her first love, and she was happiest at outdoor concerts, surrounded by family and friends. You could always count on Becky for honest, thoughtful advice—whether you were ready to hear it or not. It was always delivered with love, even if it stung a little, because she wanted nothing but the best for those she cared for. Becky had a warm heart and welcomed everyone into her life with open arms. She will be deeply missed, but her loving spirit will live on in the memories she created with all of us.
