In Memory

Becky Kiefer

Becky Kiefer

Obituary

Rebecca Ann (Becky) Kiefer

7/6/53 - 7/31/20

Our beloved Becky passed away at her home in Albuquerque. 

Becky was born in Buffalo, NY to Charles F. Kiefer and Lois A. Kiefer (nee Allison), and her family moved to Alamogordo, NM when she was very young.  She graduated Alamogordo High School in 1971.  Becky was a great cook and loved taking care of people.  Her compassion for people led her to pursue a career in the healthcare industry, where she served as a medical assistant, medical transcriptionist, office manager, and ultimately a certified medical coder, until she retired in 2017.  In her lifetime, she lived and worked in Alamogordo; Gatlinburg, TN; Denver, CO; and Albuquerque.  Becky will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered for her intelligence, patience, thoughtfulness, sound medical intuition, and the compassionate guidance she provided to friends and family – medical and otherwise.  

She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Noel Kiefer.  She is survived by her daughters Pamela Swafford and Angela Quintana (Dennis); her brother Charles Kiefer, sisters Allison Stephens (Steve) and Barbara Roberts (Klay); grandchildren Jorja Brickhouse, Hunter Brickhouse, and Zachary Quintana; and former husband and good friend, Rodney Swafford. 

Becky loved spending time in the mountains, so her family is planning a small mountain memorial service near Albuquerque. 

Memorial contributions may be made to Animal Humane of New Mexico.

The first thing I remember about Becky is her sweet laugh!  She had a distinct laugh I would have loved to hear again!

I knew Becky from school and Brownies. Although I can't remember details, I do remember her being very nice . So lovely to hear about her life and I'm sorry to hear about her passing. RIP Becky.

My first memory of Becky is the top photo from 3rd grade at Heights Elementary School.  Another fond memory is of my Brownie Troop at Camp Mary White putting on a play.  In the photo is Kay Anderson, Becky Kiefer, Vivian Drewett, Teresa Ortega, Nancy Reed, Debbie Albro, and Beth Bodwell.  (There you go, Vivian....)  We had such a fun time.   I did not keep up with Becky, but I am saddened by the news of her death. I know she will be missed.

Our sweet Becky was such fun. Rick and I used to have dinner at she and her husband's house in Alamo. I was always fascinated with their old time jukeboxes.  She did have a happy laugh.  Miss you sweet lady.

Becky, May the Lord Bless and Keep you, may the Lord make His Light shine upon you and give you Peace. Becky and I were in 3rd -6th grade together.  We had mutual friends in Debbie Albro and Vivian Drewett. She was much smarter than I was and so we shared no classes in Junior High or High School. Specific memories have long faded, but I remember her growing into a beautiful, kind and very happy woman.  I last saw her at our 20th reunion, talking to the Heights Elementry crew. Now she dances with Angels. Prayers for all the people she left behind.

I was close to Becky for many years, mostly in late elementary and junior high. Her mom worked with my parents. She had a fun and kind personality. This was sad news. Praying for comfort and peace for her children.

I am so sorry to hear about Becky.  It sounds like she had a fullfilling life for herself and those she loved.  I remember when she lived down the street from me and walking to school with her on occasion. She was ALWAYS so nice. I am comforted to think of her spirit in the mountains she enjoyed.
