Rebecca I. Frambach of Willow Creek, a resident of Humboldt County, passed into God’s perfect memory on October 26, 2025, at the age of 56 years. She died very peacefully at Santa Rosa Providence Memorial Hospital, surrounded by two very dear couples, who for years were like family to her. 

She is survived by her beloved mother Avis (“BEA”) Frambach and only sibling, her proud sister Laura Frambach, both of Sheffield, MA. Also by her loving Uncle Richard and Aunt Mary Frambach, of New Hampshire. And by her dear Aunt Martha Abbondandelo. In addition, she was deeply loved by literally hundreds of precious friends, her spiritual brothers and sisters! These are fellow members of congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses, starting with her childhood congregation of Great Barrington, Mass. for 19 happy years. After that, she moved to help out the small but very caring Valley City, N.D. congregation for 20 happy years. After Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, she readily moved to New Orleans, Louisiana to volunteer in the Disaster Relief Committee of Jehovah’s Witnesses to aid affected ones and their moldy homes for a year! Lastly, she again moved up to beautiful Willow Creek for 17+ wonderful years to help out the close knit, very loving congregation in the volunteer work she always loved the best: sharing in spreading hope of the best future ever possible, through God’s Kingdom government soon to bless all mankind permanently. 

She is predeceased by her beloved and wise father, Ronald Frambach.

Becky made it her life’s work to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, who shared kingdom good news while he was on earth for 3 1/2 years. (Please see Matthew 24:14 in the Holy Scriptures).  She devoted her heart and energy to serving as a regular pioneer in the volunteer ministry for 40+ years starting at age 16. 

She supported herself by a variety of part-time jobs, and the one she enjoyed the most was her reflexology business, where she could help many people find relief and comfort with her special type of “hands on“ treatment.

Becky‘s early years were spent enjoying quality family time, spent mostly by delighting in God‘s handiwork which is all around us. Starting in the 1970s, the Frambach family enjoyed roughing it by tent camping, then in the 1980s, graduating to  pop-up trailers, which were taken all over New England, especially the beautiful White Mountain area in New Hampshire. She and her sister grew to know our Grand Creator by studying His beautiful creations on these camping and adventure trips. 

Two of her favorite joys were her hobbies, which brought her endless delight. She loved taking photographs of people, places, and all of life’s adventures — carefully labeling them, storing them in countless albums, and sharing them with others.  

She also cherished staying connected with friends. At the beginning of each month, for decades, without fail, Becky would compose unique cards, some of which included heartfelt poems, to send out to every couple who was celebrating their wedding anniversaries, and special milestones.

She carried out this tradition with zeal, joy, and deep satisfaction — much to the delight of those who received her treasured cards!

What sustained her more than anything – filling her with happy hope, vigorous zeal for the life-saving ministry, and endurance through hard times – was the beautiful promise of a future on earth. This promise comes from our loving God, who canCorey Shannon-Johnson’snot lie, and is recorded in the Holy Bible. In Revelation, chapter 21, verses 3, 4, it says: “God… will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more… The former things have passed away. Look! I am making all things new.” And in verse 5, He continues: “Also he says, ‘write, for these words are faithful and true.’ “ And Christ himself promised in John chapter 5, verses 28, 29: “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the Memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out… to a resurrection of life!”

On Saturday, December 13, 2025, at 2 p.m., there will be a memorial service held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, at 65 Blue Jay Lane, Willow Creek.
