Sprandel, he preceded her in death April 9, 1993. She is survived by her children: Trisha (Michael) Haag of Emington, Anthony (Jane) Sprandel of Homer, Illinois, James (Lisa) Sprandel of Andover, MN, and her grandchildren: Kaleb Nelson, Brooke (Tyler) Shrewsbury, Kacie Haag, Seth Sprandel, Haley Sprandel, McKenna Sprandel and Raegyn Sprandel; and her sister, Vicki Richey of Keenesburg, CO. She is preceded in death by her parents, her brother Robert D. Altman, her brother-in-law, Richard Richey, and great-grandson Henry Michael Shrewsbury. Becky graduated from Columbia High School in Tiffin, OH, class of 1969. She worked for many years as a cook at the Kempton Inn and she also worked at Exact Packaging until retirement. Becky enjoyed her retirement, so very much. She also enjoyed spending time being an amazing grandmother and the world's best mom. She was known for her quick, sarcastic wit, which was passed down to her children, for better or for worse. She was creative, caring, patient and loving. Many of these end with the words "she will be missed by all who knew her". In Becky's case, those words could not be more of an understatement. We were so very blessed to have her.
