Fern Rosenthal Epstein
“The best memories are the simplest moments and last a lifetime”.
That is what Fern gave to all who knew and loved her.
Fern Rosenthal Epstein passed away Friday, May 19. She was surrounded by her adoring and devoted family.
Fern was born August 9, 1954 in Pittsburgh, PA where she lived until moving to Nevada about 10 years ago. She is predeceased by her loving husband Jeffrey Epstein, her brother Larry Rosenthal, parents Charlotte and Mike Rosenthal and Aunt Harriet.
Fern was like the Pied Piper. As she met people and showed her generosity, wit, sparkle, and unconditional love they became her friend forever.
“The best, most beautiful things in life cannot be seen or touched, they must be felt with the heart” – Helen Keller.
Fern lived her life with compassion, devotion, and heartfelt love. She loved to be “fabulous”.
She and her pug Lexie were inseparable.
She was always pampering and doting on Lexie.
Fern is survived by her adoring sister Shelley, brother-in-law Paul, nephews (who were like her sons)
Ernie & PJ Homsy, niece Alessandra Homsy, GREAT niece Summer and Summer’s sister who is on the way,
Evan and Aaron Frebowitz cousin Jodi Kline and sister-in-law Farren Epstein.
