Rebecca Jean Lepisto Cerveny Obituary (1950

Rebecca Jean Lepisto Cerveny passed away April 18, 2018 in Provo, Utah. She was born April 25, 1950 in Painesville, Ohio, the eldest of three children born to Edwin and Georgiana Lepisto. As a young adult, Rebecca joined the LDS church, leading to the eventual conversion of both of her younger siblings. Throughout her life, Rebecca remained devoted to God and active in church service. Beginning early, she delved into family history going back to her parents’ ancestral lands of Finland and Hungary and gathered a great deal of genealogical information. She studied nursing at Lakeland Community College in Kirtland, OH and maintained a lifelong love of learning, pursuing interests such as cooking, sewing, foreign language, and gardening. Rebecca devoted a great deal of time to raising and educating her two children, even through her first battle with cancer in 1999. She is survived by her husband, Robert Cerveny; her son Michael Cerveny and daughter Andrea Page (Edward); and siblings Tanya Weger (Lou) and Edwin Lepisto (Holly).
