Rebecca "Becky" Maria O'Malley's Obituary
Rebecca “Becky” Maria O’Malley, age 76, passed away on May 30, 2023 surrounded by family after a long battle with COPD.
Becky was born on April 17, 1947 in El Rito, NM to Maria Inez Archuleta and Jesus Maria Vigil
Becky married Larry Lopez in 1966, divorcing after 15 years. Becky and Larry shared one daughter together.
Becky later married Michael O’Malley in 1984. He preceded her in death on December 24, 1990.
Becky opened her heart and home to everyone, helping anyone in need. She was a great consoler and adviser, and someone who would always tell you the hard truth. She had a great sense of humor and was very quick witted, spending time with her involved a lot of laughter. Some of her favorite pastimes included trips to Wendover, playing card games, and watching NFL and college football. But her greatest joy in the world was her grandson, Kolbe; she called him “her inspiration for living.” She will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. RIP Mama/Nana. We love you!
Becky is survived by her daughter, Tannett James, grandson, Kolbe James and many nieces and nephews.
She also leaves behind Tony Padilla and Rodney Smith who were dear to her heart.
Becky was preceded in death by her parents, Jesus and Maria Vigil, 9 siblings, and numerous extended family members.
A Viewing, Rosary, and Requiem Mass will be held on June 07, 2023 at 11:00 am at St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church located at 7405 South Redwood Road West Jordan, UT 84084.
