Family and friends are remembering Becky Trinklein, and sharing this remembrance with the community:
Rebecca (Becky) Ruth Trinklein unexpectedly passed away on July 20, 2026. She was born on October 4, 1955 in Seattle, raised in West Seattle by her loving parents Norma and Delton Trinklein. She attended Hope Lutheran School along with her siblings and graduated from West Seattle High School in 1973. She continued her education at Shoreline Community College, and worked for various Seattle companies in administrative positions. She enjoyed the outdoors, fishing and camping in Eastern Washington, Alki Beach, and Caribbean cruises.
In the early 1990s she moved to Huntington Beach, California, and in her last years moved to Rancho Santa Margarita. Becky was a longtime member of her beloved church St. Andrews of Newport Beach, California.
She adored her cats as if they were her children (Parsnip, Saddie, and Else). Becky was a very unique person, known for her great sense of humor, heart of gold, and kindness to everyone. She was fun and could light up a room with her smile and personality. She is survived by her sisters Cindy Dodge and Debby Macom. In addition to her parents, her brother Bob Trinklein preceded her in death. She will be missed by all of the Trinklein family, but will remain in our hearts forever.
