Marie F. Smyth

Marie F. Smyth, of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 22, 2024, at home with family.

Born on April 19, 1938, in New York City, she was a daughter of the late Henry P. and Marie L. (Luzet) Jacquelin.

Following high school graduation, she went on to earn an associate’s degree before entering the workforce. She enjoyed a twenty-five-year career with Univest Bank, until retiring in 2005.

Outside of work, she found joy volunteering for Animals in Distress in Limeport, reading, knitting, playing piano, and watching football—especially the Eagles. Above all, though, she loved spending time with her family.

She was a member of St. Isidore’s Catholic Church, Quakertown.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband of fifty-three years: David M. Smyth, Sr., who passed away on January 26, 2011; brothers: Raymond and Peter Jacquelin; brother-in-law: Steve Cooper; and grandson: David M. Smyth, IV.

Marie will be lovingly remembered by her sons: David M. Smyth, Jr. and his partner Chris Dotter; Dr. Michael H. Smyth and his wife Teri; daughter: Denise M. Kopinski and her husband Scott; brothers: Henry P. Jacquelin and his wife Barbara; Roger Jacquelin and his wife Judy; Joseph Jacquelin and his wife Marie; three sisters: Annette Cooper; Helene Jacquelin and her husband Peter; and Louise Lopez and her husband Joseph. She is also survived by grandchildren: Amanda Smyth Koons and her husband Ryan; Kenny Smyth and his life-partner Natalia Aguilar; Emily Kopinski and her fiancée Steve Plousis; and Jonathan Kopinski; great-grandchildren: Charlotee Ruth, Jaxon David, and CeCi; as well as her many family members from Country Meadows.

A viewing will be held at St. Isidore’s Catholic Church, 2545 West Pumping Station Road, Quakertown, on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, from 9:00am until 10:30am, followed by Mass of Christian Burial, in church, at 11:00am.  For those unable to attend in person, Mass will be livestreamed via the link located below.
