Rebecca Irene Knight Cloward   1954 ~ 2010

Our wonderful wife, mother, daughter, and sister was taken home suddenly and peacefully at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center on November 2, 2010.

She was born on June 17, 1954 to Jo L. and Janette Knight and graduated from Springville High School with honors in 1972. After graduation, she was Miss Springville in 1975. She graduated from BYU in 1982 as a Nurse Practitioner before her mission and started her career in Ticaboo and Bullfrog. She served a full time LDS mission in Hong Kong in 1983 - 1984. She enjoyed working in various health care positions, the most recent being the BYU Student Health Center and particularly teaching the pre-marital classes and working at first aid stations for many events at BYU. She also started the Student Health center at UVU before working at BYU.

Becky met her sweetheart Paul Cloward, soon after her mission. They were married June 21, 1985 in the Jordan River Temple.

Becky loved making quilts, crocheting, knitting, reading, and her church callings including young women's, relief society and the Primary Secretary. Becky loved music and was known for her participation in school plays and singing in church. Her belief that singing was a prayer unto the Lord was evident in her choice of favorite song: "Oh That I Were an Angel" and now she is.

Her earthly father Jo L. Knight lovingly received her spirit and she is survived by Paul J Cloward and her children: Casey Lewis, Katie, Kelly Paul, and Cory J Cloward, her mother Janette Mae Chapman Knight, Siblings; Paul, Rachael, Ruth, Berty, Peter, and Joe.

The funeral services will be Saturday November 6th starting at 1:00pm at the Mapleton Utah Stake Center located at 970 North 400 East next to the Mapleton Jr. High.
