Gay, 46, mother, friend, sister | Obituaries | jhnewsandguide.com – Jackson Hole News&Guide

Rebecca “Travis” Gay died Oct. 26 at her home in Alta. She was 46. The cause of her death was colon cancer. For six and a half years she danced with the unwanted partner (cancer) with the same grace and beautiful spirit she carried through her entire life. The following was provided by her family.

During cancer treatments, Travis went to a comedy show. One had to walk through a casino to arrive at the theatre. Though not a gambler, she stopped at the blackjack table and was dealt two hands of 21 in a row. The man next to her yelled, “You sure are lucky!” He couldn’t have known that she had just survived a dozen surgeries and the loss of both her parents.
