Rebecca, "Becky" Stephens Gilmer, a resident of Johnson City, passed away peacefully at home January 23, 2017. Becky was born in 1948 in Fort Riley, KS. She was a registered nurse who served in public health before committing full time to motherhood and management of her husband's dental office in Elizabethton. She is survived by her husband of 47 years, Phillip Gilmer, and their eight children, Kitty Atkins, Nichol Cox, Josh Gilmer, Caleb Gilmer, Casper Gilmer, Noel Gilmer, Sierra Gilmer, and Norman Gilmer. In addition, there are twelve grandchildren and one great grandchild. The family will be receiving friends on Thursday, January 26, 2017 from 2:00 until 4:00 pm in the East Parlor of Appalachian Funeral Home. Family and friends will be gathering later that evening for reflection and celebration of a life well lived, 208 Parkway Blvd in Elizabethton at 6:00 pm. Private disposition will be held at Mountain Home National Cemetery at a later date.

To the Gilmer family I want you to know how special Becky was to me. She encouraged me to believe in myself and always showed me and my family never ending love. Her and Phil provided me a job that I loved for 24 years. I watched her help the needy, feed the poor and share the gospel of Jesus Christ many times. I want each of you to know that I love you and that I've been blessed to be a part of your family and I'll be praying you. Becky is now rejoicing with her savior and laying the many crowns that she earned here on earth at Jesus feet. My desire is to be like Becky and let the love of Jesus flow from my heart just like she always did.
To the Gilmer family. Becky was such a sweet lady and will be missed greatly. I am here if anyone needs anything please don't hesitate to ask.

Caleb, Josh, Phil and all the family - So sorry for your loss! Becky is a great lady and a true testament of what a mother is. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Phil and family, BJ and I just learned of Becky's moving to heaven and we wanted to let you know that here in Macon, GA where we now live that we are praying for each or you. We are remembering the good times together years ago, including some of the kids staying with us while she gave birth!! We are blessed to have known her and each of you. May the peace of God comfort you as we celebrate this life of love that she lived KNOWING that we will spend eternity together with her. Bless you
She is rejoicing in Heaven with my dad! What a glorious time they are having. Praying for strength, comfort, and peace that passes all understanding.
To Phil and all the family Our thoughts & prayers are with you. God bless youall Love Joe & Connie
Becky was such a great example of God's love and grace. What a testimony her life was for the Lord! So generous, so loving, and always with a big smile! While we grieve her loss, we also rejoice that she is with the KING! Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die John 11:25
Sincere heartfelt sympathy to all. She was a special Lady and we were blessed to have known her.
