Rebecca ‘Becky’ Bianchi

Bianchi

Rebecca “Becky” Jean (Hahn) Bianchi, 77, passed away Friday, Sept. 4, 2026, surrounded by love and family, after a courageous journey with cancer.

Born Jan. 26, 1949, daughter of the late Earl and Anna (Stepp) Hahn, she lived a life defined by kindness, compassion and an extraordinary capacity to care for the people she loved. She was truly one of the sweetest souls, with a gentle spirit and a way of making those around her feel loved and cared for.

Many people in the community also knew and loved her from her years working in the men’s suits department at JCPenney, where her warmth, kindness and helpful nature touched the lives of countless customers and co-workers.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Jim, with whom she shared 32 years of love and life together; her daughter and only child, Tracy Bordelon and her husband, Benjamin; her grandson, Joshua Friel; her brother, Rick (Chris) Hahn; her sisters, Janet Hoffman, Patricia Daum and Rose Terlisner; sister-in-law, Ann Marie (Tom) Richard; her stepson, Michael (Lisa) Bianchi; and several nieces, nephews, stepgrandchildren and stepgreat-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Earl “Butch” Hahn; and her sisters, Diane Goehring and Doris Smith.

More than anything, she will be remembered for the person she was. She was kind and compassionate, loving and generous and deeply devoted to her family. Her sweetness was not something she simply showed on occasion. It was part of who she was. She loved the people in her life wholeheartedly and they knew it.
