She graduated from Lincoln University in 1978, with a bachelor's degree in Biology. During her high school and college years, Rebecca was the bookkeeper for her uncle Dave at the Stockman Feed Store and worked as a lab technician at St. Mary's Hospital.

Dr. Lueckenhoff completed her medical residency at the UMC Medical Center. In 1985, she opened her family medicine practice in Jefferson City, and moved her private practice to offices next to Dr. James Allen, on Industrial Drive. In 1989, she moved her family practice to St. Mary's Medical Offices, eventually joining JCMG. Realizing the need, in mid-Missouri, for in-depth attention to women's hormone health, Dr. Lueckenhoff opened Health Enhancements in 2007, a medical practice focusing on patient care in bio-identical and hormone therapy for women. She retired from practice in October of 2015. She was a board certified family practice physician with the State of Missouri, a member of the Missouri Medical Association, a fellow of the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Medicine, a member of the American Board of Family Medicine, and was an advocate for cancer patients, testifying before the Missouri State Legislature to reduce the cost of chemotherapy medications and to make those medications more readily available to patients.
