Rebecca "Becky" M. DeDecker

Rebecca “Becky” Mary DeDecker, 77, passed away on Sunday, March 30, 2025 in Kimberly, Wisconsin, after a two year struggle with cancer. She was born on June 10, 1947 in Appleton, WI, the daughter of the late Nolan and Mary (DeHut) Seif. She grew up with her sister in Kaukauna, WI, and graduated from Kaukauna High School. After graduating, she attended Fox Valley Technical College for another two years. She met Dan DeDecker and they were united in marriage on May 11, 1973. They moved to Combined Locks where they raised their two children. Becky was an active member of St. Paul's Catholic Church.

Becky was an avid reader and could often be found enjoying a good book with a steaming cup of tea in her hand. She enjoyed cooking and liked to try new recipes that she discovered. Whether she was watching the cooking channel with her granddaughter or playing checkers with her grandson, Becky loved being with her family. Her greatest joy in life came from spending time with her two grandchildren, who she saw daily.

Becky was a loving wife, mother, sister, and grandma. She was truly the foundation of her family, their "rock" when times were tough. Becky was a thoughtful, caring person who could always be counted on to help others. 

Becky is survived by her husband Dan DeDecker of Combined Locks, WI; her sister, Cynthia (Charles) Carr of Combined Locks, WI; her daughter, Cari (Joseph) Van Handel of Combined Locks, WI; her son Rick DeDecker of Kaukauna, WI; and her grandchildren, Rose and Ethan Van Handel.

Becky is preceded in death by her parents, Nolan Seif (1998) and Mary Seif (2011). 

There will be a memorial service on Friday, April 11, 2025, at St. Paul Catholic Church - 410 Wallace St. Combined Locks, WI 54113. Visitation will be from 9am - 11am, with a funeral mass starting at 11am. 

Special thanks to the staff at Aspire Senior Living and Bristol Hospice for your compassionate care during Becky's illness.
