About Vuokko Rehn
Lived 1938 – 2011 (aged 73). Vuokko Rehn was a Finnish politician.
Vuokko Rehn ( Valjakka; 24 May 1938 — 13 September 2011) was a Finnish politician.
Rehn was active in the local politics of her home town, Mikkeli, serving on the city council and the municipal executive from to 1993 until 2010, including chairing the council from 2001 to 2004.
Rehn was the only Centre Party MP who did not vote against Finland joining the European Monetary Union, returning instead an empty ballot; it is believed that this was a reason why she failed in her 1999 re-election bid. She is considered to have represented the liberal wing of her party.

Vuokko Rehn's son is the economist and politician Olli Rehn.
