CUMBERLAND – Rebecca Hauk, 61, passed away on March 10, 2025, in Cumberland. She was born on Sept. 4, 1963, in Grand Rapids, Mich., the daughter of the late Coin and Helga (Pfersdorff) Hauk.
Rebecca moved to Maine in 1977 when her father was transferred with the Secret Service. She quickly fell in love with the state and made it her lifelong home. She attended the University of Southern Maine, earning a degree in Political Science, and furthered her studies at Stern University in New York.
A passionate and proud Republican, Rebecca was actively engaged in politics from a young age, serving as a teen delegate at the 1980 National Republican Convention.
Rebecca built a successful career in banking, ultimately serving as vice president at People’s Bank, now TD Bank. Her work took her all over the state, and she especially enjoyed her visits to the county.
She loved to travel and explored Germany, France, Mexico, and the Caribbean. She was also deeply connected to her family, sharing a special bond with her parents. She cherished antiquing trips with her mother and even purchased a home across the street from them in Scarborough.
Rebecca found joy and companionship in Shirley, Maine, where she spent time with her dear friend Floyd, who was the sunshine of her life.
She lived a good life.
Arrangements are under the director of Conroy-Tully Walker South Portland Chapel, 1024 Broadway. To view Rebecca’s memorial page or to leave an online condolence, please visit http://www.ConroyTullyWalker.com.
A private graveside service will take place in the Spring of 2025; Rebecca will be laid to rest alongside her beloved parents at Black Point Cemetery, Scarborough.
