Rebekah Lynn Schaffer (Dulemba)

Rebekah Lynne Schaffer, 49, passed away at Cheyenne Regional Medical Center surrounded by loved ones after a long battle with various health issues starting in 2018.
She was born in Dallas, Texas to Susan (Dulemba) Lucas and Ron Dulemba. She graduated from Cheyenne East High School in 1995. With a strong work ethic, she excelled in every kind of work no matter if was babysitting, fast food, accounts receivable, pest control, or working at the state’s insurance department.

In 2009, was where she found her true calling. After a traumatic birth of her youngest daughter, there was a long stay in the NICU at Children’s Hospital where she learned to love doing “cares” for her daughter and decided to become a nurse. First, she worked as a CNA and then a LPN. After trying to balance work, life, kids, and school, she proudly earned her nursing degree from Laramie County Community College in 2014. She didn’t have patients, she had family. She made lifelong connections no matter where she was. She didn’t put on a cape, but she was a superhero to so many and not just in the nursing world. She loved being with family no matter what they were doing. She also enjoyed fishing, camping, movies, driving the golf cart, and supporting the local Special Olympics. In recent years, she decided to invest in a food truck (Dot’s Kitchen) as a hobby for the whole family.
