Becky Kay Kramer

May 21, 1961 - November 22, 2024

Becky Kay Kramer, 63, passed away on Nov. 22, 2024, at Great Plains Health with her devoted and loving family right by her side.

Born a twin, she was welcomed into the world by her parents, Bill and Anna (Arensdorf) Melvin, on May 28, 1961, in Sutherland.

Becky attended North Platte High School and received her GED later in life, in the early 90s. In 1980, Becky began dating a childhood friend, Art Kramer, and the two were wed on Oct. 7, 1983, in Stapleton. The couple made their home in Stapleton and together they raised three children, Alvin J. "AJ", Darcie, and Jennifer. When the children were young, Becky worked as a daycare provider and eventually took jobs in different customer service areas, including restaurants and hotels. She worked in home health care briefly before deciding to be a homemaker due to the birth of her first grandchild. Family was the center of Becky's world; she would do absolutely anything to help a child or grandchild when needed. She was an avid crocheter, making dozens of blankets, Afghans, potholders, and many other treasured items. She and Art loved to dance, and she was enthusiastic about bowling and playing bingo. Becky always had kindness to give away and was the trusted advice-giver when someone needed help. Her relationship with the Lord was unbreakable and a great model for her children and grandchildren.

Those who preceded her in death include her father, Bill; brother, Billy; sister, Darlene; parents-in-law, Robert and Hazel Kramer and Doris Kramer; and sister-in-law, Anita Engel.

Survivors include her husband, Art Kramer; children, AJ Kramer, Darcie (Heath) Krauter and Jennifer (Roman Reyes) Davis; mother, Anna Melvin; grandchildren, Madison Eggleston, Lindsay (Koltar Rahn) Newman, Natalie Newman, Koy Kramer, Colby Hubert and Bill Kramer; great-grandchild, Remington Jo Rahn; siblings, Jack (Jodi) Arensdorf, Charlene (Stanley) Freeman, Donna (Steve) Wright, Travis (Jennifer) Melvin, Jason (Denise) Melvin, Brad Halcott and Shane Halcott; sister-in-law, Donna Melvin; siblings-in-law, Dan (Kristy) Kramer, Alvin (Peggy) Kramer, Rolland (Jan) Kramer, Marie (Layne) Pyzer, Mike (Peggy) Fox, Steve (Alice) Paul, Darwin Paul and Brenda Monroe; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
