Lila Rupinsky Obituary

Lila Francine Rupinsky, aged eight days, passed away in her parents' arms on February 8, 2013. She is the cherished and beloved daughter of Mike and Jenny (Fiorenzo) Rupinsky. Lila was born on January 31, 2013 in Pittsburgh, Pa., weighing six pounds, four ounces and was 19.5 inches long. She was the answer to their prayers and they waited for her birth with joyful expectation. Her maternal grandparents are James and Annette Fiorenzo of Erie, Pa. and the late Francine Fiorenzo. Her paternal grandparents are Barbara and George Rupinsky of Warren, Ohio. She is the first niece for her aunts and uncles, Dan Fiorenzo, Katie Rupinsky, Christopher Rupinsky, and Jodie and Dave Bobco. Lila also was surrounded in love by her four great-grandparents; Helen Bevilacqua, Betty and Nello Fiorenzo, and Dorothy Rupinsky, great-aunts, great-uncles, cousins and friends. During her short time here, her parents found that she loved wearing headbands, the color pink and pointing her fingers. She didn't really care much for baths, but really enjoyed having her hair brushed. She touched many lives in her short life and a remembrance and charity fund was set up in her name. In lieu of flowers, donations are being accepted to the Lila Rupinsky Memorial Fund. For more information and to read Lila's story, please visit lilarupinsky.com. Freyvogel-Slater Funeral Directors, 112 Fort Couch Rd., Pittsburgh, PA 15241 (Bethel Park), were entrusted with arrangements.
