VIRGINIA BEACH – Rebecca H. Hermelin, 73, passed away at home on February 23.
She was born on August 25, 1950 in Norfolk to Al and Bea Hermelin, of blessed memory.
A brilliant student, Rebecca graduated at the top of her nursing class and worked as a registered nurse for several years. She was a loving, caring, and talented person who had a special affection for animals.
Those who knew Becka well fondly recall that she always looked forward to her birthday each year with great anticipation. As the day approached, she was known to flash her unmistakably wide smile and possessed the same delightful spirit of enchantment as that of a child.
Becka is survived by her beloved husband, John Perucci, of over 33 years, as well as sister Ronnie Moscovitz (Jack), and two brothers, Harvey Hermelin (Jenny), and Mark Hermelin.
Funeral services were graveside at Forest Lawn Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to a local SPCA or pet shelter.
