Judith Ann Levy, 89, passed away on April 6, 2025 at Trustbridge Care Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. Judith—known to most as Judy—was born on August 5, 1935 in Boston, Massachusetts.
Judy is survived by her husband, Allyn Levy; her four children, Robin Wolpow (spouse Marc Wolpow), Scott Slater (spouse Kay Slater), Lauren Slater, and Tracy Slater (spouse Toru Hoshino); her eight grandchildren, Nina Rosborough, Julie Wolpow, Thomas Wolpow, Clara Alexander, Lucas Alexander, Ben Slater, Hanna Slater, and Elli Hoshino; her two great grandchildren, Hugh and Isobel Rosborough, as well as her sister Ellen Fisher.
As a young adult, Judy was impacted by the plight of European Jewry during World War II. Her concern led her to dedicate the next fifty years of her life to supporting the Jewish community worldwide. She served as Birthright Israel Chairman of Palm Beach County and Florida from 2013–2022, and Emeritus member from 2022 to the present. She was past president, campaign chairman, and major gifts chairman of the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach, past board member of the Joint Distribution Committee, and past United Jewish Appeal National Women’s President and Campaign Chair.
In 2012, Judy was awarded the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County’s 2012 Kipnis Wilson/Friedland Award (Lion of Judah honor) for her outstanding leadership and dedication. She was a passionate and intrepid traveler, leading missions to Israel, Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, and the Former Soviet Union.
She attended Pine Manor College and Tufts University.
A funeral service will be held at Sharon Memorial Park Chapel, 40 Dedham St., Sharon, MA on Wednesday, April 16, at 10:00 am. Interment will follow. Donations in Judy’s memory can be made to the Birthright Israel Foundation.
