OBITUARY: Rebecca I. Frambach, 1969-2025 | Lost Coast Outpost

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.
