Born on August 30, 1908, to James B. and Rosalia Duff Grierson, Becca grew up near Hysham on the J.B. Grierson Ranch, where her heart always remained. She remembered fondly her years growing up on the ranch with her brother John, horseback riding to school, reading, cooking, and always taking an active role in the family ranching operation. She left Treasure County only briefly to attend the University of Montana in Missoula. There she pledged Kappa Delta Sorority. She graduated in 1930 with a Bachelor's Degree in Education with a major in history and a minor in Spanish. She returned home to the family ranch, teaching high school history and drama in Custer and later in Hysham.
Ever the pioneering spirit, Becca pursued a fruitful full-time teaching career for several years until she married Carl Almond in 1941. They lived on the ranch and had a.' son, James Richard, in 1942. Becca remained a devoted mother and wife, as well as parttime teacher, ranch bookkeeper, and secretary of the Froze to Death Grazing District. Becca was also always an active member of the Treasure County community, the Hysham Presbyterian Church, and several women's ranching groups.
After her brother's death in 1984, Becca continued to operate J .B. Grierson Company with her son Jim and nephew Bob, and continued as secretary of Froze to Death Grazing District well into her 80s. When her health deteriorated she moved near her son and daughter-in-law in Billings to St. John's Lutheran Home, where she remained until her death.
Becca will be fondly remembered for her independent spirit, down to earth nature, and willingness to work hard. She was a loving and generous mother and grandmother, and will also be remembered as a mentor to many she touched along the way as both teacher and friend.
Becca was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Carl, her brother John Grierson and his wife Marge, and many dear cousins and friends. She is survived by her son Jim and his wife Sandy of Billings; her nephew Bob Grierson and his wife Diann of Hysham; her grandchildren James Almond of Forest Grove, Ore.; Carl Almond and his wife Holly of Phoenix, Ariz., and their children Victoria, Lily and Finley; Beth Emter and her husband Cornel of Clancy and their children Rebecca and Michael; and Kate Sigafoos and her husband Chad of Helena and their daughter Amelia.
