Rebecca Badgett Blake

Rebecca Badgett Blake, 64, of Biscoe, died Sunday, May 26, 2019, at Duke University Hospital.  Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Thursday, May 30th, at First Baptist Church, Biscoe with the Rev. Larry Wilson officiating.  Burial will follow in the Biscoe Town Cemetery. The family will receive friends at their home in Biscoe and on Wednesday, May 29th, from 6-8 p.m. at Briggs-Candor Funeral Home in Candor. Rebecca served Montgomery County Schools as a teacher at East Montgomery High School and a County Testing Coordinator. She was secretary of the Colonel Andrew Balfour Chapter of the DAR, president of the Sedgefield Gate Community Association and vice-president of Tri-Star Construction.  She enjoyed lunches with the retirees of Montgomery County Schools and spending time with the North Surry Girls. She loved traveling, adventures and “porch sitting” with her family.  Shopping with the Badgett girls, crafting and going to the movies were favorite pastimes. But perhaps, her greatest joy was her Monday playdates with granddaughter, Reagan. Rebecca is survived by her husband of 42 years, Gary Blake; daughter, Kristin Blake of Mt. Airy; son, Charlie (Liz) Blake of Greensboro; mother, Pauline Badgett of Mt. Airy; sisters, Paula (Tom) Mutton of Lewisville and Cindy (Ramey) McBride of Mt. Airy and four grandchildren.  She was preceded in death by her father, Kenneth Badgett and sister, Susan Sykes.  In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Children’s Fund for Glycogen Storage Disease Research, Inc.; 20 Sherwood Lane; Cheshire, CT  06410. Briggs-Candor Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements
