Rebecca Lynn Fure (Olson/Rustand) was born to Norman and Janice (Miller) Rustand in Elbow Lake, Minnesota on April 18, 1962. She graduated from Elbow Lake and went to Fashion Design School in Minneapolis until she married William (Bill) Olson. They raised three children (Jennifer, Christina and Joseph) in Bemidji, Minnesota in the country where she loved to sit on the deck in the sun, read her books and mow the lawn, which she thought very relaxing. She spent time with her children baking cookies, reading books in bed and teaching them God’s love. She loved long walks, rollerblading and family time at Bemidji State Park having picnics and swimming. She spent much time in the hospital by her husband and son’s side while they were fighting cancer. After Bill passed away (1999) she went back to school to be a massage therapist, and then an LPN.
In 2007 she met Doug Fure. They married in 2012, at one of her favorite spots in the world–the beach. She moved to Walker, MN with her husband and learned yet another trade: resort owner and operator. She was then able to enjoy traveling during the winter months, something she had always wanted to do. She and Doug RVed throughout the country to destinations like Florida and Arizona and also spent time in Mexico and Belize. It was a dream come true.
In February of this year she found out she had lung cancer. After bravely enduring several different treatments that didn’t stop the growth, she took her last breath at home surrounded by her three children, husband and her little shadow–Vincent the min-pin.
Becky is described as dedicated, kind, hard-working and self-less. She will be greatly missed and loved forever.
