Rebecca Arden Criswell

Rebecca cherished time spent with those she loved most, especially her nieces and nephews, who brought her great joy. She enjoyed coloring, watching movies, and simply being surrounded by family. Her favorite color was purple, a reflection of her gentle and creative spirit. Rebecca attended high school and carried with her a deep appreciation for connection, comfort, and togetherness.

She is lovingly survived by her husband, James Criswell; her mother, Candis Michaels; her father-in-law, Larry Criswell; and her mother-in-law, Karen Giguere. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Danielle Rossi, and brother-in-law, Aaron Rossi. Rebecca was a devoted aunt to her nieces, Jeydan Michaels, Kalee Michaels, and Julia Rossi, and her nephews, Owen Michaels, Isiah Michaels, and Benjamin Rossi, as well as several great-nieces and great-nephews. Rebecca had no children of her own, but her love for her family knew no bounds.

She was predeceased by her brother, Jeremy Michaels, and her father, Sal Michaels.

Rebecca will be remembered for her kind heart, her love of family, and the quiet warmth she brought into the lives of those who knew her.

A Celebration of Life will be held on February 20, 2025, from 2PM-6PM, at McHugh Funeral Home, 283 Hanover St., Manchester NH 03104.
