Rebecca Kramer Richman

Rebecca (Kramer) Mendelson Richman passed away on Tuesday January 2, 2018, three months before her 96th birthday. She was the loving mother of Phyllis (Paul) Zalvan, Stephen (Janice) Mendelson and Sheryl (David) Elman. She was an adoring grandmother who gloried in all accomplishments and successes achieved by any or all of her grandchildren. She derived special joy by her involvement in the lives of her great grandchildren. Becky was blessed by sharing life with her two loving husbands, Ben Mendelson and nine years later she remarried and began a new life in Boynton Beach, Florida with Gerald Richman who added his three children Carol, Steven and Howard, and their families, to their loving home. Becky was a devoted friend and maintained lifelong connections with an elite group of people whose friendships she cherished. Her knitting, crocheting and needlework skill was nothing short of an artistic gift. With Benny she was a mainstay and tireless worker at Temple Beth Shalom in Hull, MA. She was a true vibrant life force who will be sorely missed and always remembered by all who knew and loved her.
