Becki Sue Benjamin

Becki Sue Benjamin, 70, of Osburn, ID, was released from her struggle on the evening of April 24, 2025.

She was born on July 21, 1954 to John and Golda Brayman in Coeur d’Alene, ID where she born and raised. Becki attended and graduated from Coeur d’Alene High School, but it was in middle school that she met the love of her life, Edgar Benjamin, Jr. They were married in 1972 and enjoyed 53 years of married.

They raised two wonderful, yet challenging, daughters, Ashleigh Benjamin and Melissa O’Connell, who will carry her razor-sharp wit and a soft spot for the underdog. Her family was lucky enough to find her one son in-law, Jimmy O’Connell. Becki was a rock-and-roll grandma to her two grandsons, Mason O’Connell and Aiden Benjamin-Stack, and her one and only granddaughter, Megan O’Connell. Becki was currently breaking in a new son in-law in-training, Scott Dunn, and admiring the hair of his daughter, Macy Dunn.

She liked dark bars and strong drinks, being outside (when it was warm), and ATV rides. She passed along a love of breakfast for dinner but not the ability to make gravy, for alas, she could not. She did not like the holidays, but was always in for a raucous gathering. Anyone that didn’t have somewhere else to be was always welcome.

Becki is preceded in death by her parents; her in-laws, Edgar Sr. and Betty Benjamin, whom she adored.

She is survived by her devoted husband; her two daughters and their families; her sister, Debbie (Jim) Dury; sisters in-law, Betty Mae (Gary) Kempton, Judy (Doug) Greenfield, and Wendy (Dean) Wise; a brother in-law, Jeff (Gayle) Benjamin; as well as numerous nieces and nephews that will always remember her as the cool aunt. She will be missed.

A raucous gathering of Becki’s friends and family will be held at a future, warmer date.
