The town of LaGrangeville, New York, is mourning the unexpected loss of Rebecca Ann Pepe. She was a devoted mother, wife, and friend. Rebecca passed away at her home on December 21, 2025. She was 53 years old.
Rebecca was born in New Jersey, but she built her life in LaGrangeville. She focused on her family, faith, and community. She graduated from Ketcham High School in 1990 and later attended Hofstra University. Friends say she was very good at keeping friendships strong over time.
Her family was her greatest joy. Her daughters, Morgan and Jocelyn, were the center of her world. She rarely missed a moment in their lives. She also shared a close and loving bond with her husband, Anthony. They were married in 2002. Neighbors often saw the family laughing and supporting each other.
Rebecca was an active member of St. Kateri Tekakwitha Church. People there knew her for her kindness and gentle nature. She was known for thoughtful gestures and a welcoming smile.
Calling hours will be held on Sunday, and a funeral Mass will take place on Monday. The family asks for donations to a local dog shelter. This honors Rebecca’s deep love for animals.
