Phyllis Specter Wenitsky

Wenitsky Phyllis Specter (NEE WASSERMAN) 64, of Blue Bell, PA, passed away on January 26, 2021. She is survived by her husband, Howard, daughters Jennifer (Jon Smith), Samantha and Erica; her grandson Jordan; mother Dorothy (Dottie); siblings Bobbi Wasserman (Harry Koplin), Ted Wasserman (Marcia Lyons) and James Wasserman; and nieces and nephews. Phyllis was born in Philadelphia to Leonard and Dorothy Wasserman on September 14, 1956. When her late husband John passed away, she proceeded with immense courage and love, determined to build a beautiful life for her daughter Jennifer. She found love and built a family with Howard Wenitsky, who had also lost his spouse. Howard, and his daughters Samantha and Erica, joined Phyllis and Jen and together created a household filled with laughter, love and joy. She embodied values inherited from her parents: decency, selflessness, resolve in adversity, goodness and unquestionable love of her family and friends. From the moment they said "I do" 22 years ago, she and Howard set an example of what a strong marriage looks like, rooted in unconditional love, partnership, friendship, appreciation for one another's uniqueness and mutual respect. Phyllis had all the hallmarks of a perfect Jewish mother. She had an ability to "hear" the words written on the hearts of her children, even when unspoken. She always made sure everyone was fed, well-dressed and happy. She wrote handwritten notes in her elegant cursive script, filled with heartfelt gratitude and thoughtfulness. Phyllis taught her girls to be self-sufficient, self-assured and most importantly, kind.
