Becca Kibodeaux Obituary — The Rayne community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Becca Kibodeaux, a cherished 3rd grade teacher, loving wife, and deeply admired friend, who passed away unexpectedly on Saturday at the age of 33.
Born in Alexandria and residing in Rayne, Becca’s radiant spirit touched every classroom, home, and heart she entered.
Becca dedicated her life to teaching, and her students were truly an extension of her family. Known for her infectious laughter, boundless compassion, and unwavering patience, she didn’t just educate—she nurtured. Her impact was so profound that when young Gracie was asked how many children Becca had, she replied, “22”—the exact number of students in her class. That sentiment echoes the way Becca lived: selflessly, lovingly, and all-in for her students and their futures.
A proud daughter of Alexandria, Becca grew up surrounded by deep-rooted values of family, faith, and community. She built a beautiful life with her husband, Troy Kibodeaux, in Rayne, where she became a cornerstone of the local school and a beloved presence among friends and neighbors.
Becca is survived by her devoted husband, Troy Kibodeaux, and their children. She also leaves behind her extended family, including her parents, siblings, and a wide circle of colleagues, students, and lifelong friends who loved her dearly. Each of them now carries the weight of a loss that feels insurmountable.
Those closest to her, like Carla Miller and Misty, remember Becca as more than a teacher or friend. She was like a sister—one whose soul radiated kindness and whose presence brought joy, comfort, and peace. “This is the last picture we’ll take with you,” Carla wrote. “You weren’t just a teacher. You were family.”
Her passing reminds us how fragile life is, and how deeply love binds us, even in grief. In the words of a close friend: “We know we will see our loved ones again, but the corporal loss is heartbreaking.” Becca’s legacy—of laughter, generosity, and fierce love—will remain etched in the lives she shaped.
May her memory forever be a blessing, and may she watch over those who grieve, until the day they meet again.
