Becky Ann Ryals

Becky Ann Ryals, 61, a 58 year resident of Malaga, passed away at her home, surrounded by her children on Friday January 10, 2014. She was born on May 4 1952 to the late Johnny and Naomi (Hall) Rule at Louisville, Mississippi. She attended Wenatchee schools and graduated class of 1971. After high school she attended Wenatchee Valley Jr. College. In 1977 she married Dan Ryals, she along with his three children, Patrick, Wendy and Treesa, made their home in Wenatchee and in 1978 they welcomed a son, Kristopher. While Dan worked at Alcoa, Becky took care of the family and worked retail. Daughter, Treesa, remembers her mom's long blonde hair and how she would braid it from side to side and was so excited when her hair was long enough to have mom braid it like hers. "Mom was a stickler for being 'On Time' and early if possible, taught us to be responsible and pay debts when due" reminiscences Kristopher. The kids remember the love their mother had for the outdoors and the fun she would have cross-country skiing, hiking and camping alongside her friends and family. In recent years she was known to the family as the #1 Grandma. Grandchildren came first, they were her joy and they all knew she loved them unconditionally. "I don't know how I would of managed if it wasn't for moms' help with my children, and being there when I needed" recalls Kristopher. For the last five years Becky's battle with Cancer was grueling, chemotherapy, hospital stays, and doctor's visits but, Kristopher's finance, Julia, was there to love and take care of her every need and want's as if it was her mother. Becky cherished this relationship and welcomed her to the family. Baptized and raised Baptist but considered herself Christian, she was a devoted daily Bible reader and never quit studying the books of the Bible. Her kindness and forgiveness that she showed others will she forever be remembered for. She is preceded in death by her parents; brother, John Buck Rule, Jr. and sister, Glenda "Faye" Rule.
