Rebecca Ann Mckown

Rebecca Ann McKown, 65, passed away unexpectedly on July 24, 2020 at home in Salt Lake City Utah.
Rebecca was born in Salt Lake City on September 3, 1954 the third of seven children to John and Noreen Omer.  She was preceded in death by her father John and brother Steven.  She is survived by her children Andrew, Aaron, Emily, and Brianna, her mother Noreen, her sister Carolyn, brothers Russell, Bryce, Kent, and Chris, 12 grandchildren, and ex-husband Jackie.
Rebecca earned a Masters of Library Science and enjoyed a long career at her Alma Mater, Brigham Young University.  She had a love of music and was a talented musician in the flute, piano, and organ.  Rebecca enjoyed hiking, traveling, reading, and had a unique love of chocolate in all its forms.  She had a love of learning and exploring the world around her.  She held relationships close to her heart and cared for all around her. She loved her family as evidenced by all the time she spent visiting with her children and grandchildren.
Rebecca had a smile and laugh that would light up a room. Her willingness to serve will always be remembered. Her faith gave her the strength to overcome any obstacle before her.  One of her favorite places to visit wherever she went was the temple.  We will miss her light, love and adventurous spirit.
