Rebecca Burdick Winters (January 16, 1799 – August 15, 1852) was a Mormon pioneer who with her family left the eastern United States to emigrate to the Salt Lake Valley with other Latter-day Saints.

[2][3] In response, descendant Jacob Oscarson created a survey of family members asking for feedback.

As of summer 2022, the grave was to stay at its current site, with the Scotts Bluff County Board of Commissioners granting permission to volunteers to make some minor improvements.

Following her death, William Fletcher Reynolds (1826 – 1904), a family friend, carved her name and age into an iron wagon tire and buried it to mark the grave's location.

[9] After the completion of the Union Pacific Railroad, Mormon pioneers stopped traveling by foot and Winters's grave was all but forgotten.
