Rebecca McColl

We’ll be missing you - a void that’ll never be filled. Shine on sweet angel, you are and always will be so loved 💕🪽

Mrs McColl was someone who always deeply cared, loved, and valued her students. I was very lucky to have her as my grade 7 teacher and I am very saddened to hear about her recent passing. She was someone who’d always go above and beyond to make sure all students had fun while feeling respected and belonging in her class. She loved making her French class fun by making us play bingo or even taking us out to the parks to go play outside. Even though it was 4 years ago, it feels like yesterday and she made my grade 7 year a memorable one. Mrs McColl, May you rest peacefully because there is no replacement for such an amazing human being❤️

Mrs. McColl was the best teacher that I have ever had, and I speak for everyone when I say this. In our grade 7 class at Lisgar Middle School, she gave 110% and always ensured we had a great day every day. From letting us watch movies at lunch to taking us to the 7-Eleven down the street, she made that year a memorable one. She treated us like her own, and we, students, will forever be grateful for the endless amounts of teachings that she gave us. She loved to do fun activities, like making us dress as Santa Claus before the winter break using tons of toilet paper! She was kind and giving. Mrs. McColl blossoms in all of our hearts, and will never be forgotten.

I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of my Grade 7 teacher, Mrs. McColl. She was such an amazing teacher who truly cared about her students and made learning such a positive and memorable experience. It feels surreal to think that I was in her class five years ago. It feels like just yesterday she was encouraging us and always sharing her warmth and kindness. She had such a unique way of making everyone feel valued, and I will always remember the impact she had on me during such an important time in my life. Her passing is a tremendous loss, and I will miss her deeply. - Nabila Jasat

Phil & Family, Heartfelt condolences. A beautiful woman who left the world too early. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the families at this difficult time. May you all find strength in each other, and joy in her memory in the days to come.

My deepest condolences on the passing of Rebecca. This is a tragedy to lose someone this young, also leaving a young family. I'm sure the family will receive the support they need to carry on, but there is no replacement for such a person.

My thoughts and prayers to the Snoey's family. Ms. McColl was my favorite gym teacher at Sir William Gage. She was an amazing person, she taught me how important my education is and helped me work on my basketball skills when I first started playing. I never wanted to leave her side, I always wanted to be around her because her energy was contagious. Thank you for being a part of my educational and basketball career Ms. McColl. May you rest peacefully❤️

Our deepest condolences to the Snoey's family for their loss of Rebecca. May she rest in peace.

Phil and family.... So sad to hear this news.... losing a child would be the most horrific thing in the world. I hope you remember the fun times, the happy times, the times you supported eachother. Praying for you during this sad time. May your memories of her be when she was her happiest. Hugs to you. Christina CCIW

We have had the privilege of knowing Rebecca and her family for over 40 years. Our sincere condolences to Phil, Monica, Katherine and Rebecca’s family on this untimely loss. Hope you find comfort and cherish the memories you shared with her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

Our sincere condolences to all Rebecca’s family and friends. Gone way to soon but hopefully memories of time spent with her will help at such a difficult time.

Over the years, our family had the privilege of celebrating several Christmases, Easters, and Thanksgivings with Phil, Monica, Rebecca and her family. These were happy times. It was a joy to see Payton and Madi grow, for Drew to join their family circle, and for the blessing of Mackenna’s birth three years ago. During these times, there were two indelible impressions Rebecca imprinted on my heart: her unfailing love and dedication to her children, and her indomitable spirit when dealing with an unrelenting and unforgiving disease. We heard often of the sports events she ferried the kids to, and her undying support from the sidelines. And how I smiled at her stories of dressing up in funny costumes when she walked the hospital hallways on her way to treatments. What laughter and joy she spread as she journeyed! If, in my time, I can spread half the joy and love Rebecca did in her too short time, then I will have truly accomplished good in the world. What a fine legacy she leaves —one of joy and love. Our heartfelt condolences to Phil, Monica, Drew, Payton, Madi, McKenna and to all of Rebecca's family. May light perpetual shine upon her.

Not only was Rebecca a very talented basketball player but she was also a very respected teammate. Having being involved in the recruitment of her to Western University I have very fond memories of her and it is so sad to see that she has left us at such an early age. Our prayers and thoughts go out to her family and friends, also to Katherine and Phil. We are left and will cherish fond memories. God bless. David Bartolotta

Ted remembers his niece at age 3-4 scampering around a restaurant, a high energy kid, her athletic tendencies shining through even then. Growing up, Reb loved playing with her Belch cousins at the Fairbairn Street family home of her grandparents in Peterborough. She grew up to be an accomplished athlete and devoted teacher and mother. At her grandmother's funeral in 2014, she delivered a moving eulogy. A fun memory: during the Belch family reunion at Dave and Linda's home in Leamington on the Canada Day long weekend in 2023, she was the most gung ho of all the cousins, nieces and nephews, playing successive rounds of the classic 1980's game Pig Pong, where players squeeze hand-held, brightly coloured plastic pigs to blow air to send a puff ball back and forth across a net. Her vibrant spirit lives on in her three beloved children. She will be sorely missed by us all.

Treasure to know. She helped out at the school I worked at and the students loved her. She connected with everyone. Quiet but if you asked she had something to say. Sorry for her husband and children. Prayers

I met Rebby about 30 years ago playing basketball at my mom’s school gym. We quickly hit it off, I was the loud to her quiet. We were acquaintances but always had a wonderful time together and were able to stay in touch. She was a voice of reason and compassion a few years ago when I really needed it. She will be remembered and cherished by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. My deepest condolences to her family.

Rebecca was my french teacher in grade 8. She was the best person to look up to! I remeber the day she asked me to play basketball and ever since i play outside of school and for my high-school league! We always had so many good laughs with her and i will continue to play ball just for her! I will forever thank her for everything she has taught me! I will forever miss you mme! ❤️

madame you will be missed so much, you would continue to listen to me and nyla talking about literally anything, you definitely made a part of me and made me like french class. you will be missed 🪽

You will be much missed by everyone. I’m so glad you were my French teacher. You continued to push me to where I am today. I will miss you so much I love you mme.

My tribute to Rebecca. Rebecca was one of the best people I’ve ever met, and no I’m not just saying that. She was real, raw, genuine, kind, humble & devoted. I met her in 2014 where she was a dedicated teacher and colleague at Sir William Gage Middle School. She became a fast friend, workplace mentor and lifelong friend. Albeit living an hour and a half away from school, she was most always one of the first educators in the building. She found great joy in coaching many flag football, basketball & volleyball teams. We had many life therapy chats on the school tarmac where she would drink her tea (she dislikes coffee) and call her kids to make sure they got off safely in the morning. I would spend my lunch hours in her special education room because I loved her company where multiple teachers and students would come in to get support, be it report cards or extra help with school. She always had time for everyone and anyone. She contributed a huge moral and energy to our school and was a natural leader. Rebecca carried a daily ache of living life without her mom, often mentioning her absence and wishing she was there, for her advice, for her wisdom and simply for her presence. Rebecca wore her heart on her sleeve and in her tears that were both happily and sadly shared and it was inspiring to see someone share emotion so rawly. I loved this about her. Rebecca was the type of friend who never missed a baby shower or wedding or an event of importance understanding the importance of such milestones and one’s presence. She navigated the divorce of her first marriage with tenacity and grace to be a role model and strength for her children. She quickly found much deserved love and friendship with her love and husband Drew Snoeys. Drew was security and hope and the much needed man that Rebecca loved and deserved. I never heard Rebecca say a negative word about him. They were a true team right until her final days. During Rebecca’s cancer journey, she would often mention she wasn’t afraid of dying and her biggest concern was leaving her children behind (a mother’s nightmare). Her sweetheart of a dog Maui was a big companion to her never leaving her side, and Rebecca often only having the energy to yell “squirrels” for him to go get his run outside. Rebecca lived a life of endurance in many ways. She was resilient and knew how to pivot both on and off the basketball court. Rebecca will always be one of the best people I know. I hope she’s reunited with her mom. I hope we can honour her by caring for Drew and her children. My deepest condolences to her entire immediate family and everyone who will miss her.

I am so blessed to have had a friendship with Rebecca after meeting her through Drew. My heart is broken for Drew and the kids. She will be missed dearly but will live on within her children. May you rest in peace Rebecca, thank you for making Drew so happy! We will miss you xoxo

Katherine, Phil and family, I'm so sorry and so heartbroken for all of you. Any time I think of Reb I see that quiet smiling girl who I saw go from a little kid sitting in the stands with her parents, watching us play, to being a teammate and playing alongside us. Rebecca, sending all the love possible to your family and friends, and know that you will continue to be thought of often and fondly.

Rebecca was a kind, compassionate, and enthusiastic teacher which was evident when we worked together at Lisgar Middle School. Those qualities were in full effect more recently when she routinely dressed up in a variety of creative costumes while undergoing her chemo treatments, just to bring some cheer to other patients during a very difficult time. It was a pleasure to watch her dreams come true with Drew, the birth of Mackenna, and her steadfast adoration of Payton and Madi. My heart goes out to her dear family and friends who are devastated by her loss. I will miss her friendship, and she will always be fondly remembered.

I had the pleasure of teaching with Rebecca at Lisgar Middle School and was lucky to have a friendship that lasted throughout the years that followed. She was a wonderful friend, teacher and human being and she will be deeply missed. My heartfelt condolences to Drew, Payton, Madi, Mackenna and Rebecca’s family and loved ones. May you find strength in each other, and joy in her memory in the days to come 💜.

You were one of the kindest people I’ve had the pleasure to have come into our lives 💝 Through all your pain the final moments you were continually saying sorry to everyone 🥲 It was us that our sorry Rebecca 💔 you didn’t deserve any of this 😭 Forever Remembering your amazing zest for anything you did 💫 Love you Big 🥰

Love You Hunny ❤️
