She was born November 26, 1922, in Glennville, Georgia, to the late Edward Franklin Mulligan and Laura Rogers Mulligan and was educated in the Glennville, Georgia public schools, where she was valedictorian of her 1939 high school class. She graduated from Georgia State College for Women, now Georgia College and State University, in Milledgeville, Georgia, where she majored in Business/Education and was a member of the Phoenix Society, an Academic Honors organization. She also did graduate work at Appalachian State University. In 1945/46, she worked for a CPA firm in Savannah, Georgia, and later taught Business/Education in Brunswick, Georgia, High Point, and Stoneville, North Carolina High Schools. One of her favorite activities in later years was attending the class reunions of Stoneville High. For two years Rebecca worked in the office of the School Superintendent of Rockingham County, North Carolina. From 1955 to 1975, Rebecca worked for the TC Stone Insurance Agency in Stoneville, N.C. and then from 1975 to 1984, served as a secretary for the town of Mayodan, N.C. After retirement Rebecca monitored closely all Mayodan City Council meetings, and in 1989 she ran for Mayor of Mayodan as a write-in candidate, garnering wide support. The Associated Press ran a picture of her campaigning for Mayor which was picked up nationally. She supported the candidacy of numerous Democrats in state and national elections. Rebecca was an active member of the Mayodan Methodist Church, and she volunteered for the Youth for Truth Organization started by a family friend, Winkie Willis, to provide after-school/evening activities for the young people of Mayodan. She established an endowed scholarship in memory of Winkie Willis at the Rockingham Community College and also established the Mulligan Sisters' Scholarship at Georgia College. Aunt Becky was most proud of her work to reestablish the Alcoholic Anonymous program in Mayodan where she volunteered in many capacities. She said her phone was a "help line" for others. Her last years were spent in the caring hands of the Friends Home at Guilford in Greensboro, North Carolina, where she said "every day is a vacation."
