With profound sadness, we mourn the loss of New York City Police Officer 46pct and Pastor Rebecca De Paula, whose life was tragically cut short under uncertain circumstances on August 1,2026
Rebecca was a devoted wife to her beloved husband, Jhoenny De Paula, a loving mother to her three beautiful children, (Jhoenny Lovera De Paula, Noah Loveras De Paula, Joel De Paula) a faithful pastor, a cherished daughter, and friend. Her family was the center of her world, and she loved them with all her heart.
Rebecca touched countless lives through her unwavering faith, kindness, and compassion. She had a beautiful way of brightening everyone’s day with her warm smile, positive spirit, and genuine love for others. She was a true believer who never missed an opportunity to remind those around her, “God bless you,” and “Jesus loves you.” Those words reflected the way she lived—with faith, hope, and love.
Rebecca’s loss is deeply felt by her family, friends, congregation, and her brothers and sisters in blue. While no amount of support can fill the void left by her passing, any contribution, no matter the amount, is greatly appreciated and will help ease the financial burden on her family by assisting with funeral and burial expenses, memorial services, the cost of bringing Rebecca to New York from the Dominican Republic, and the many unexpected expenses that come with such a sudden and heartbreaking loss. Most importantly, we ask that you keep Rebecca’s family in your prayers as they navigate this unimaginable loss.
Rebecca’s love, faith, and beautiful spirit will forever remain in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her. She will never be forgotten.

Con profunda tristeza, lamentamos la pérdida de la Oficial de la Policía de la Ciudad de Nueva York Precinto 46 y Pastora Rebecca De Paula, cuya vida terminó trágicamente de manera inesperada bajo circunstancias inciertas el 1 de agosto de 2026.
Rebecca fue una esposa dedicada a su amado esposo, Jhoenny De Paula, una madre amorosa de sus tres hermosos hijos, Jhoenny Lovera De Paula, Noah Loveras De Paula y Joel De Paula, una pastora fiel, una hija querida y una amiga incondicional. Su familia era el centro de su vida, y los amaba con todo su corazón.
Rebecca tocó innumerables vidas a través de su fe inquebrantable, su bondad y su compasión. Tenía una hermosa manera de alegrarle el día a todos con su cálida sonrisa, su espíritu positivo y su amor genuino por los demás. Era una verdadera creyente que nunca perdía la oportunidad de recordarles a quienes la rodeaban: “Dios te bendiga” y “Jesús te ama”. Esas palabras reflejaban la manera en que vivía su vida: con fe, esperanza y amor.
La pérdida de Rebecca es profundamente sentida por su familia, amigos, congregación y sus hermanos y hermanas de la Policía de Nueva York. Aunque ninguna cantidad de apoyo puede llenar el vacío que deja su partida, cualquier contribución, sin importar el monto, es profundamente apreciada y ayudará a aliviar la carga financiera de su familia al cubrir los gastos del funeral y entierro, los servicios conmemorativos, el costo de trasladar a Rebecca desde la República Dominicana hasta Nueva York, y los muchos gastos inesperados que conlleva una pérdida tan repentina y desgarradora. Lo más importante es que les pedimos que mantengan a la familia de Rebecca en sus oraciones mientras atraviesan esta pérdida inimaginable.

You lit up every room you walked into. No matter what kind of mood someone was in, you always found a way to make them laugh or smile. That’s just who you were. I’m really gonna miss you, my friend. You were the soul of our company 25-23. From your random outbursts to the crazy stories we still don’t know if we should believe like putting aluminum foil on your windows to block out the sun 😂😂 (IYKYK). From hearing “Good afternoon Officer McSweeny” to “Hello sweetie God bless you” I’m gonna miss bothering you over the smallest things letting you line that you were my lieutenant without the bars. Thank you for every laugh, every conversation, and every memory. I’ll always be grateful for the time we shared and the impact you had on all of us. You looked out for all of us whether you realized it or not. I love you, DePaula. I’m gonna miss you more than you’ll ever know.
Thank you for being bold and courageous my friend …You were a true light amongst us all! “God bless you”
