Rebecca Ostrander Obituary

Rebecca ""Becky"" Smith Ostrander passed away peacefully at home on November 5, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.


Born to Camilla Ethel Dunn and John Marse Smith Jr., Becky lived a life marked by quiet strength, kindness, and devotion to those she loved. She was preceded in death by her husband, John ""Jack"" Wilson Ostrander, with whom she shared many years of laughter, partnership, and family.

Becky is survived by her son, Patrick Jay Ostrander and his wife Bekki Sloane Ostrander; and her daughter, Vicki Camilla Jansen and her husband Alfred Howard Jansen III. She was a proud grandmother to Zachery Shawn Ostrander and Jack Brayden Ostrander, and a loving step-grandmother to Ellie Harris (husband Kyle) and Brent Jansen.

Her joy extended to the next generation as ""Great Grandma Becky"" (GGB) togreat-grandchildren Teagan and Jace Harris, who brought light to her later years.

Beckys family will remember her gentle humor, steadfast love, and the grace with which she faced every season of life.

In accordance with her wishes, no formal service is planned. The family welcomes kind thoughts and memories shared in her honor.
