Rebecca Bennett Richards, 66, of Grace, Idaho, returned to her heavenly home on Thursday, June 5, 2025, while surrounded by family.

Becky, as she was lovingly known, was a daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother. People knew her for her gentle laugh, kind spirit, and unwavering commitment to family. She was a friend to everyone and had a special way of making someone smile.

Becky was born in Preston, Idaho to Joyce and Calvin Bennett on April 8, 1959. She was raised alongside her three sisters, with whom she shared a lifelong, special bond. She enjoyed spending time on her parents' ranch, where she shared her father's deep love for animals.

She married Alvin Richards on March 27, 1981, in Grace, Idaho. They built a life full of love, raising four children, and over the years, welcoming six grandchildren into the family. One of her greatest joys was spending time with her grandbabies, who brought endless happiness into her life.

Becky was admired for her strength and resilience, meeting every challenge with a smile and positive attitude. Even on her worst days, she could be found outside watering her flowers or visiting with a friend. She was an incredible example of what it means to live life to the fullest, embracing each moment with love and courage.

Becky is survived by her mother Joyce Bennett; husband Alvin Richards; children Kandie (Casey) Spidell, Shantel Richards, Dustin Richards and Schae Richards. She also leaves behind grandchildren BreeAnna, Alexis, Bryson, Ryker, Deklan and great-granddaughter Everleigh.
