Becki Sue Gremminger

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Rebecca Sue (Crawford) Gremminger, affectionately known as Becki, a loving wife, devoted mother, cherished grandmother, and beloved sister, who peacefully passed away on Friday, October 30, 2026, at the age of 65. Born on Tuesday, October 10, 1961, in Bonne Terre, Becki's vibrant spirit, warm heart, and infectious laughter touched the lives of many throughout her journey.

A proud North County graduate of the Class of 1980, those in the community will remember Becki who had worked as an Administrative Assistant in the Special Education Department for the North County School District for several years, and her past career roles at The Outdoor Shop, Dr. Chastain’s office, Mueller & Spray Optometry, and various medical offices, along with working side by side with her sister Joy at J&J Uniforms.Throughout her life, she exemplified kindness and compassion, making a lasting impact on the students and families she assisted.

 Beyond her professional life, Becki was a creative soul. She had an extraordinary talent for crocheting, crafting, and jewelry making, but she will be most fondly remembered for her delicious MiMi Treats baked goods, particularly her famous cupcakes, which brought joy to countless family gatherings and friends. Becki cherished her time spent with family, whether it was on vacations to the beach, hosting barbecues, decorating for events, cooking delightful meals, or lounging by her pool with a good margarita in hand alongside her loving husband Alan.

A proud mother and MiMi, Becki doted on her daughter, Ashley, and granddaughter, Isla Mae. She never missed a moment to cheer on Ashley during her dance performances or to support Isla at her many sports events. Her love for family was unwavering, fostering cherished memories that will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Becki enjoyed a vibrant social life, reminiscing about her high school days with her friends from “The Fab Four.” As a passionate athlete, she relished playing volleyball and softball, finding great pride as a pitcher on her beloved "Flames" team, where she made countless memories competing and celebrating victories.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert W. "Pat" and Alta Mae (Williams) Crawford; brother Rick Crawford; dear aunt Ileana “Nee Nee” Horn and uncle Diz Horn; and nephew Thomas Waite; along with her beloved chihuahuas Lucy and Chloe, and grand dog Lola.

Becki is survived by her loving husband of 45 years, Alan Gremminger; adored daughter Ashley Douglas and husband Michael, cherished granddaughter Isla Mae Douglas; dear sister, Joy James and husband Jim; brothers and sisters in-law, Larry Gremminger and wife Paula, Chris Gremminger and wife Georgia, along with not just a sister- in- law but a special friend, Judy Hutchison and husband Steve; close niece Jodie Waite, and many other nieces and nephews, great and great-great. Becki also leaves behind her loved fur baby Archie and grand dog Margot.

In appreciation for the compassionate care Becki received during her illness, the family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the nurses at the Schukar Unit at Barnes Jewish Hospital- Kelly, Molly, Chloe, Haley, Diasia- as well as BJC Home Care nurse Katelyn, whose dedication and support meant the world to them.

A memorial gathering honoring Becki will take place at The Ember, formerly known as Elizabeth Hall, at 210 Woodlawn Dr. in Leadington, Missouri on Sunday, November 15, 2026, at 3:00 PM until 7:00 PM, where family and friends will gather to celebrate her beautiful life.
