Rebecca "Becky" Ann Middleton (Goodson)

7/1/56-7/27/25

Becky was proud to be born in Ann Arbor, MI but made Spokane, Washington her home for most of her life. 

She is survived by her loving devoted husband David Middleton; children (Dallas and Ryan Valenzuela) and Jennifer Gigler; 3 grand children Jonathan Thomas, Olivia Marie and Ivy Ann; niece Robbi; great-niece Cheyenne; great-nephew Rhodie; and SO many friends. 

She was preceded in death by her father Thomas "Frank" Goodson; mother Flo Goodson; and sister Brenda Hayes.

She made her career in the medical field with many roles to include medical assistant, medical transcriptions (with the fastest fingers in Spokane at one time) and finally as a phlebotomist.

She worked hard, played hard, loved hard and made hard. Forever remembered for all whose light she has brightened.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
