Elizabeth J. "Betty" Rebuck , age 92 of Elwood, passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 9, 2020 at St. Vincent Mercy Hospital in Elwood following a long, fulfilling life.  She was born November 30, 1927 in Terre Haute, the daughter of Floyd and Julia (Fischer) Dillon.  Betty married the love of her life, William "Bill" Rebuck on May 11, 1946, and they shared over 53 years of marriage together before his passing on January 28, 2000.  She was a homemaker all of her life and loved caring for her family in every way.  Although challenging at times, she and her husband raised 5 ornery boys who all turned out very well.  Betty was a devoted member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Elwood where she enjoyed singing in the church choir for many years.  She enjoyed painting, playing the organ at home, fishing through the years, and was an excellent cook for her family.  Betty especially loved listening to opera music and she also loved animals.  With a beautiful smile on her face, she never knew a stranger and had a wonderful sense of humor.  Betty truly loved life and always tried to make life fun and interesting.  Her grandchildren lovingly called her "Mam" and "Meem".  Betty will certainly be remembered for being the matriarch of her large family, and her legacy will live on in her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Betty's family legacy includes 5 sons, William "Bill" Rebuck of Elwood, James "Jim" (wife Sherry) Rebuck of Elwood, Richard "Rick" (JoAnne) Rebuck of Elwood, Joseph (wife Sue) Rebuck of Elwood, and Daniel (wife Shaunacee) Rebuck of Gas City; 11 grandchildren, Jodi, Tony, Jessica, Natalie, Laura, Allison, Jarod, Kambric, Jordan, Zepheniah and Hannah;  19 great-grandchildren, Noah, Hunter, Emily, Luke, Dacie, Adrian, Alayna, Layla, Easton, Pennelope, Henry, Anna, Parker, Rowan, Hudson, Nolan, Nyla, Spencer, and Brooke;  and, several nieces and nephews including, Ingrid Sutton of Tipton.

Betty was preceded in death by both her parents; husband, William "Bill" Rebuck; and 2 brothers, Robert Dillon and Alfred Dillon.
