Rebecca A. Gerschefske

Rebecca was a remarkable woman, full of love, kindness, and wisdom. She had a unique ability to make everyone she met feel special and valued. Her laughter was infectious, and she invested in you immediately, genuinely wanting to get to know you and taking pride in becoming part of your story. She loved to socialize and felt there was no better way to spend your time than laughing and being surrounded by friends and family. Whether that was a late-night phone call to catch up, a quick stop at the house to love on the grand babies or a fancy dinner party.

She found her calling when she became a mom and she genuinely wanted nothing more than to be the best mama in the world. It came through in every choice she made, every interaction she had. She was her family’s biggest cheerleader and would do anything to ensure a safe and loving life for the ones she loved. For anyone that spoke with her you know that raising her girls and standing by her husband Chuck, was her favorite part of life. This October it would have been 45 years of marriage to the one she called “her hero.” When it came to the grandkids, her reach extended just that much further and lovingly took the role of Nana that will forever be cherished in their hearts.

Rebecca was a devote Catholic and trusted fully in faith and the love Jesus has for each of us. We saw this through her years of service for the church and elementary school here at St. Peter’s. Through this faith she taught the importance of hard work, integrity and compassion. Although the end came far too quickly and her absence is missed every moment, Rebecca lives on in her husband Chuck, daughter’s Becca (Ryan) Ray, Chasmine (Taylor) McIntosh and her grandchildren Easton, Oliver, Emery, Natalie and Kennedy.
