Julie Spevak Obituary
Julie (Judy) Spevak, nee Forsyth, was held tightly in God's arms as he took her to his heavenly kingdom on March 7, 2021 surrounded by her loving family.
Judy was the loving daughter of George and the late Mary Forsyth. She was born in Chester, PA on June 15, 1951, which was also so her mother's, her niece's and her grandson's birthdays. Judy grew up in Levittown, attended St Michael the Archangel school and graduated from Bishop Conwell, class of 1969.
Judy had many passions, some which were horseback riding, Egan dances and riding roller coasters all over the country. When her body took its toll on her, she learned and loved to sit around a campfire, play mah-jongg, shop on-line and especially read. She would always light up a room when she walked in. Her stories and jokes would make everyone laugh and never forget them. Judy always gave a helping hand when ever she could, always had a kind word for everyone and would give up her last dollar to anyone who needed it. Judy's greatest delight was watching her grandchildren and great grandchildren grow. Her loss will be greatly felt by all who called her Mom, Jude, Mom-mom, aunt, cuz and Mom-mom Judy.
Judy will be united in heaven with her soul mate, Bill Kunzler, her son, Bobby Spevak (Lisa) and her grandson, Chasey Herold.
Judy will be greatly missed by her children, Joanne Tyler (Jim) of Bensalem and Kevin Spevak (Tina) of Glenolden. Her grandchildren, Stephanie Hogarth (Ralph), with whom she lived with, Nicky, Kyle, Taylor and Mason Spevak. Her great grandchildren, Ava, Lexi, Sierra, Anthony & Kinslee.. Her sisters, Betty Ritts (Frank) and Patti Rose and her many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.
Judy always loved this saying: "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body but rather to skid in sideways totally worn-out shouting, WOW... what a ride!" and she did. RIP Judy.
Internment will be private and a celebration of life will be scheduled when its safe to be together (hopefully soon).
