Becky Sue (Banks) Krametbauer, 71, left this life on September 23, 2022, to be with her Lord and Savior. Becky was born in Houston, TX on May 17, 1951 to William Harlan and Audrey Lee (Lockett) Banks. She is survived by her two daughters Heather Lee Roberts and Tiffany Roberts Price with husband Will; her son Blake Adam Krametbauer; her grandsons Ty Asher Thomas with wife Samantha, Braden Matthew Price, and Myles Austin Price; her brother Daniel Wayne Banks with wife Bonnie; her dogs Charlie, Claire and Bubbles; and a host of very special cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband Leon Charles Krametbauer; her first husband Matthew Arthur Roberts; her parents Wm. Harlan and Audrey; her stepfather David Carroll; her brother William Harlan Banks II; and her baby daughter Casey Krametbauer. 

Becky was raised in Houston and graduated from Spring Branch High School in 1969, whereafter she joined the Army with her first husband Matthew. Following her Service, she managed a Steak and Ale Restaurant, worked overseas for the Corps of Engineers, and eventually landed at Coca-Cola Foods where she advanced to management in Human Resources.  It was there that she met Leon, the man who would become her anchor and husband of 17 years.  They supported each other unwaveringly through life's greatest triumphs and adversities during those years.  

Becky's happy place was the home she designed and built in Hempstead, TX where she dedicated more than 30 years to bringing life back to her family's century-old homestead. Her adventures as a quilt-shopping, treasure-collecting, bunco-playing, tractor-driving, neighborly goat farmer allowed her to meet an assortment of friends that she treasured. To know her was to be amazed by her – her tenacity, her quirkiness, her resilience and her ability to tackle whatever project she set her mind to (especially if it involved a power tool). She held Multiple Sclerosis at bay for 35 years, finding her greatest joys in genealogy, coffee at any hour, an exciting Astros game, anything related to JJ Watt, and hours of cutting grass out in the country.  Her children and grandchildren will remember her for annual Christmas bingo laughter, her universal green thumb, brighter than day lightbulbs, her enthusiasm for estate sales, "scathingly brilliant ideas", her immense champagne collection, her zeal for preserving her family legacy, her ability to overcome all things and above all else, her readiness to go to bat for her family at all cost.  Becky filled a special corner of the world that only she could fill and she will be missed immensely.
