JUDY STROVILAS

Judy was born in Steubenville, OH, on April 20, 1944, daughter of the late George ‘Jack’ and Garnet (Pinnell) Bond.

Judy was a Christian by faith and attended Toronto High School. She was a wonderful homemaker and loved being a mother and grandmother…cooking, cleaning, and taking care of her family brought her the greatest joy. She was also an avid animal lover and cared for her pets like they were her children. She previously worked at Bond Bakery, Jennifer’s Kitchen, and as a caterer for the Anchor Room.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her first husband, George Johnson; her second husband, Nick Strovilas; her significant other of 38 years, Robert Rawson; her infant son, Jack Alan; her son-in-law, Charles ‘Charlie’ Lathem; her brother-in-law, Webb King; and her adopted brother, George ‘Sonny’ Chupa.

Judy leaves behind her son, Mike (Angie) Johnson of Toronto; daughters, Deidra Lathem of Toronto, Teresa and Jennifer Strovilas of Steubenville; four grandsons, Michael Phillips, Matthew Lumpkin, Noah Lathem, and Jackson Allen; two granddaughters, Sara (Cole) Randolph, and Sequoia Lathem and several great-grandchildren; two sisters, Melba King of Bethel Park, PA, and Charlene ‘Beaver’ (Tim) Starr of Toronto. Judy also leaves behind the staff and residents of Assisted Living Ministries in East Liverpool, OH, where she resided for the last 9.5 months. They all became a part of her extended family.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, June 21 from 10 a.m. to noon at the J.E. Foster Funeral Home in Toronto. Her funeral service will follow at Noon with Rev. Kevin Rinkes. Judy’s wishes were to be cremated; therefore, there will be no graveside service. www.jefosterfh.com.
