 Rebecca Ann Trigg was born on June 20, 1943, the first child to Vincent and Leola Thar in Gillette, Wyoming. Rebecca, known to her friends as Becky, her grandchildren as Nana, Gram or Grandma and was usually only called Rebecca when in trouble as a child or when her sweet husband Robert was calling for her, lived her life loving and caring for those around her. She is remembered by her strength, commitment to her family and her beautiful smile that could brighten anyone’s day. Rebecca Ann (Thar) Trigg went to be with the Lord, and those who have gone before her, on August 9, 2024. She died peacefully in the presence of family in her home. At the time of her death she was 81 years old, however if you asked her she quit living her life based on her age in her 50’s so she never remembered her age very often.

 Becky grew up with her brother Gary Thar who she would consider in life one of her best friends. Then in her late teens she was blessed with two younger sisters Sherryl Lindblom and Shelly Clark, who she was 17 and 20 years older than, she cherished her relationships with each of them. 

 When Becky graduated high school from Moorcroft, Wyoming she moved to Rapid City, South Dakota to attend the National School of Business. While attending the wedding of a childhood friend, Becky met the love of her life Robert Trigg. He remembers she was a catch and he must have been a decent dancer to have her stay around. They married on May 15, 1964 they started their life together with a 1957 Chevy Bel-Air and $50 to their name. Becky and Robert celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary this year with their friends and family. Shortly after they were married Robert was stationed in Guam for his assignment with the U.S. Navy. This determined and strong young woman from the prairie of Wyoming joined him to spend two years living the island life. Both would recall the fun they had during those two years of their marriage.  After the couple returned to Wyoming where they had two children Kathryn and Allen. She spent her child raising years busy, she was always helping with FFA and 4-H projects, running a ceramic store in Rozet and craft mall in Gillette, teaching classes at the Senior Center. Becky was an amazing artist and was always thinking about what she was going to create next from toll painting, ceramics, quilting, weaving, you name it and she probably could do it. One of the things so many of us admired about her.  In the mid 1990’s the couple moved to Golconda, Nevada. Becky was no stranger to the community there. While Robert worked at the Gold Mine, Becky ran her quilting business. She was involved with the Quilt Guild in the local community, maintained a beautiful yard in the desert and ran the local water board implementing a new water structure for the rural community.  In their retirement years, Becky enjoyed fishing and camping, going to trade shows all over the country to sell their crafts and making new friends along the way. She always said Robert would talk to a fence post if it would nod every once in a while, so she had no problems meeting people on their travels.  Around 2011 the couple moved to Pocatello, Idaho where again she became involved in the community. Becky and Robert would fish frequently, help run local estate sales and travel to visit friends and family. In 2018 Becky and Robert moved back home to Rozet, Wyoming and remodeled her parents home. In the remodel Robert ensured that she had a large sewing room where she could have room to create and enjoy her time. If it was ever up to Becky, she would put her own needs and wants on the back burner for everyone else, so Robert had to put his foot down and tell her that the sewing room was necessary.

In her last few years she spent her time caring for Robert, helping raise her great-grandchildren, spending time with loved ones, tending to her chickens, enjoying her beloved dog “Pickles” and crafting in her sewing room. 

 Some of Becky’s best memories are her days spent fishing with Robert, being present for the births of her great-granddaughters, watching her children and grandchildren grow up and become adults she was proud of all of their accomplishments, big or small, watching them show their animals at county fair and enjoying her garden with all her flowers growing beautifully. 

Becky is survived by her husband Robert Trigg, her brother Gary (Susie) Thar, her sisters Sherryl (Greg) Lindblom, Shelly (Kent) Clark. Also by her wonderful children: Kathryn “Kate” (Curt) Terrett and Allen (Karen) Trigg. Her beloved grandchildren, Meghan (Ethan) Young, Vincent (Rylee) Bell, Rachel Bell and Robert Trigg and her adorable great-grandchildren Jocelyn Herrman, Leola Herrman, Merritt Young and Leila Bell. Along with numerous nieces and nephews and extended family.She would also tell you that in life blood doesn’t always make you family and she had many friends that she would consider her family who were there for her whenever she needed them. 

 Becky is preceded in death by her parents Vincent and Leola Thar.
