Rebecca “Becky” Clothier Case, 57, of Hingham, MA died on December 18th, 2023, after an 11-year battle with kidney cancer. She was surrounded by loving family and friends.
Warrior, wife, mom, friend, teacher, lover of hydrangeas, twinkling blue eyes, and a big bright smile are just a few words to describe Becky. She loved traveling, reading, doing puzzles, and floating in the pool. Becky was patient, loving, outgoing, loyal, a great listener and dispenser of sage wisdom. She was happiest surrounded by family, her many friends, and having her toes in the sand.

Becky attended the Shipley School in Bryn Mawr and graduated from Miss Porter’s School in Farmington, CT. She earned a B.A. and M.S. in Education from Boston College where she met her loving husband, Jon. She proudly earned a Certificate in Advanced Graduate Studies from Bridgewater State University. Becky went on to teach special education in the Walpole and Hingham school districts. She became the Special Education Preschool Coordinator and then Assistant Principal at the East Elementary School in Hingham before retiring last year.
