Rebecca Ann Sargent, 56, of Fennville, MI passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, March 5, 2020 at her home. Born June 10, 1963, she was the daughter of Margaret Ann (Lucy) Lacy and the late Kenneth Lacy and was the wife of Loren K. Sargent. Rebecca was a longtime member of Ganges Baptist Church where she had been baptized and married. She loved painting and spending time in her garden.
