Dennis J. Lepowsky Sr. 1951-2022

SALEM — Dennis J. Lepowsky Sr., 70, died Monday, Jan. 24, 2022, at St. Elizabeth Boardman Hospital.

Dennis was born Oct. 19, 1951, the son of the late Charles Lepowsky and Teena Beatty Lepowsky.

Dennis was a 1970 graduate of South Range High School. He attended Youngstown State University and later graduated from Kent State University with an associate degree in radiology technology.

Dennis was a radiology technologist for various mobile x-ray companies, retiring in 2016. He was a member of Greenford Christian Church and was also a member of the Canfield Conservation Club for several years. One of his true joys was going to the Outer Banks with his family.

Dennis loved his garden, music, his pugs, and most of all, loved spending time with his family. Dennis is described by his family as “an amazing, crazy, wonderful storyteller — our BBQ rib maker, baked beans baker, cinnamon toast treats and homemade French fry king — the man who loved pugs, his wife and kids, and was crazy about his grandbabies. Our lives will never be the same.”

Survivors include his wife, his high school sweetheart, Bernadette “Bernie” Pawlik Lepowsky, whom he married Oct. 23, 1971 ; two children, Melissa (Dave Berkheimer) Huff of Wellsville and Dennis (Melissa) Lepowsky Jr. of Girard; grandchildren, Forrest (Alyssa Myers) Huff, Grace Huff and London Lepowsky; one brother, Charles (Joann) Lepowsky II of Biloxi, Miss.; and his beloved pug, Ellie.

Besides his parents, Dennis was preceded in death by one brother, Mark Lepowsky.

Friends and family will be received from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 28, 2022, at the funeral home.
