Rebecca Elswit

Rebecca Amy Speiser Elswit, 46, beloved daughter, sister, and friend passed peacefully of cancer on Friday, August 22, 2025.

She was a native of Wellesley MA and long-time resident of California. Rebecca was a charismatic presence with deep insights into people. She used her Jewish heritage as a steppingstone to explore a rich spiritual world. Her insightful wellness practice enabled her to integrate her vast knowledge and experience to inspire and improve the lives of many.

Rebecca traveled the world, making friends and lifelong connections along the way. Whenever she reached a crossroads she would explore the path least travelled. She found awe in nature and in everyday life. She will be deeply missed.

Rebecca is survived by her parents, Bernice Speiser and Larry Elswit; her brother Justin and sister-in-law Maria, her uncles Fred and Bob, and other extended family members.
