Barbara Levonchuck, beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend lived life grateful for everyday and everyone until she passed away on April 23, 2023. Her smile, sense of humor, compassion for others, and strong faith in God never wavered as she fought ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) for more than 30 years. Barbara's gentle warrior spirit lives on in all those who loved her.
Barbara grew up happy and well-loved in Stratford, NJ. She graduated from Sterling High School in 1980 and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Rutgers University. She worked for Raytheon Technologies until she retired due to progressing symptoms of ALS.
Barbara's greatest joy came from being a wife and mother. Barbara, her husband, Stanley Levonchuck and their two children, Matthew and Crystal settled in Stratford where they were surrounded by family and friends. They became active members of Christ Community Church of Lindenwold, NJ,
As a warrior against ALS, Barbara coordinated fundraisers for the ALS Association Greater Philadelphia Chapter, as well as annual trips to Washington DC to advocate for ALS research and patient resources.
Barbara's family would like to thank the ALS Association Greater Philadelphia Chapter, Penn Medical Center's ALS Center, and Holy Redeemer Hospice for their support and care over the years.
Barbara is preceded in death by her father, Philip Trendler Sr. She is survived by her devoted husband, Stanley, her loving children, Matthew and Crystal, mother Maria Trendler, siblings Philip Trendler Jr. (Rosann), Thomas Trendler (Susan), Keith Trendler, Jayne Fennimore (Alan, decd.), Maureen Halpin (Timothy), Stephen Trendler (Theresa), sister-in-law Karen Levonchuck, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

The bravest and one of the funniest people I had the pleasure of knowing. A true warrior with a megawatt smile she never lost. I'll always cherish our Thursday movie days and the hilarious email exchanges about our kids, life, how Holly Hobbie Rules and Barbie drools (according to Barb). I will never forget my friend.

My condolences go out to my extended Trendler and Levonchuck family. I have always been in awe of my cousin Barbara over the years of her dealing with ALS. She hardly ever failed to make it to a family/cousin party or event over the years. Always.. and without fail showing up with her beautiful smile. Genuinely happy to be around the people she loved. Her determination and courage always shining through, not to mention her quick wit and sense of humor. She often had us all laughing. Peace to you dear Barbara. Keep smiling and rock on!!
