Rebekah Sue Diedrich

Rebekah Sue Diedrich passed away unexpectedly at her home in Clifton Colorado on January 25, 2025, at the age of 49. She was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on May 21, 1975. 

Rebekah was an extraordinary wife, mother, sister, daughter, aunt, mentor, teacher, coach, friend, and so much more to the people she knew and strangers she had yet to befriend. She selflessly and with great honor dedicated her life to teaching middle school science and math, shaping the lives of her students in ways they may not even comprehend yet. 

Rebekah’s contagious smile, heartfelt hugs, and quick witted humor brought joy and laughter to all who knew her. She had an unmatched way about her that gave the people whose lives she touched feel seen, heard, and safe. 

Rebekah was an invaluable and judgment free companion and confidante who will always hold a unique place in our hearts. She was fiercely protective and loyal, always there to lend a hand or ear to anyone who needed it. She was a keeper of your secrets, a fountain of advice, a woman whose love knew no bounds.

Rebekah is survived by her husband, Jason Diedrich; sons Kyle Diedrich and Conner Diedrich, father James (Collette) Lee; sisters, Jennifer (Duane) Wahrman, Rachel (Alan) VanNorman, Jessica (Greg) Smith, and Ashley (Micah) Moore; mother-in-law Cheri Diedrich; father-in-law Darell Diedrich; sisters-in-law Deatra (Stuart) Mall and Darlane (Scott) Evans; brother-in-law Darell Diedrich; nephews, Donovan Wahrman, Seth (Kiley) Wahrman, Ezra Evans, and Kaden VanNorman; nieces, Summer Diedrich, Madisyn VanNorman, Emma Evans, and Jocelyn Smith; as well as many other aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. 

She is preceded in death by her grandparents, Johney Sr. & Gwindolyn Lee and Charles & Charlene Douglass; mother, Kimberly Douglass; and her brother, Daniel Lee.
