Rebecca Sue Wallace

Rebecca Sue Halterman (Becky) was born August 10,1949 in Des Moines, Iowa to Donald Ray and Juanita Esther Halterman. She was the second child born into the family, joining sister Christine, and would be followed by another sister Donna and brother Gary. The family moved to Denver, CO where Rebecca graduated from Lincoln High School. Becky then met and married the father of her children, Cyril Lenahan III and after starting a family in Denver and Greeley, CO, moved to Hayden, CO in 1973 to raise their children. She cherished her time in Hayden and the friends she made there.

After their divorce, Becky moved to Fort Collins, then Greeley, CO, where she met Michael Wallace and found they both enjoyed country dancing, fishing, camping and spending time outdoors. Becky married Michael Ray Wallace in 1994 at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and shortly thereafter moved to Clifton, CO where they lived for the last 30 years of her life. They spent many weekends camping and fishing on the Grand Mesa. Becky cherished her time with her children and grandchildren, camping, fishing and riding UTVs. In the later years, she sometimes spent hours facetiming with her son Andrew and littlest grandson Andrew Jr.

Becky courageously battled breast cancer for more than 11 years before it eventually won the war. She was surrounded by family members when she passed in the early morning hours of September 7, 2025, in Grand Junction, CO.

Rebecca was preceded in death by her parents, Donald and Esther Halterman, grandson Cyril Joseph (C.J.) Lenahan V, and great granddaughter Adreanah Louise Bailey.

Becky is survived by her husband of 30 years, Michael Ray Wallace of Clifton, CO, her three children, Cyril (Vicki) Lenahan IV of Delta, CO, Jennifer (Lukus) Valora of Hayden, CO, and Andrew (Tabitha) Lenahan of Westville, NJ, her sisters Christine Cantele, and Donna (Phillip) Rogers, brother Gary (Anita) Halterman, grandchildren Alicia (Cameron) Rausch, Chris Perry, Rebecca (Dewayne) Britt, Conley Valora, Jacob Davis Jr., Andrew Lenahan Jr. and great grandchildren Aylah Bailey, Jackson Britt, Tristan Rausch, Tyler Rausch, and Tyson Rausch as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.

The family will forever be grateful for the loving care provided by HopeWest Hospice who helped care for her in the last several months of her life, and the Mike & Kay Ferris Care Center in Grand Junction, where she spent the final week of her life. Graveside Funeral Services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, October 4, 2025 at the Hayden Cemetery in Hayden, Colorado.
