My first stop would be checking all connections...alternator stud, battery terminals, wire going to start, etc. If something is lose, it could easily appear to be dead battery.

Thank you. We have checked the majority of the cables. We will continue to investigate other aspects of those system. I and my husband know our way around an engine bay, so we have taken the time to look at it before reaching out. So, any and all input will be greatly appreciated. Also, when this episode occurs, it kills all lights and/or electrical parts.

I've had a battery that tested ok, but ended up being defective, show the same symptoms as you are describing.
I wouldn't rule out the battery.
They aren't made like they were used to and are causing lots of strange issues with our current hungry cars.
