We regretfully announce the passing of Judy Ann (Kirn) Spicer, 55, of Cranberry Township, PA, unexpectedly on April, 8th, 2022.
Judy was one of the strongest, most generous, loving, and wise women to walk this earth and our family was blessed to have her as the head of our family. She is a graduate of St. Francis DeSales High School class of 1985. She attended The University of Dayton where she met her husband Patrick of 34 years. Judy then went on to graduate Cum Laude from Ohio Dominican with a bachelor's degree in education. After graduating, she went on to pursue a career in Human Resources for 19 years at McGraw Hill Publishing and then 11 years at WESCO International, Inc.
Judy was an incredible force, a wonderful and loving mother, wife, and friend who gave her all to her people. We will never be able to fill the space left behind by her. She loved so hard and knew that life was a precious gift. We will forever cherish the time we had with her.
Judy is survived by her parents Jim and Shirley Kirn, her husband Patrick, adoring daughters Megan (Charles Thompson) and Mackenzie (Tyler Piper), beloved grandchildren Amelia(8), Brantley(7), Leila(4), Nicholas(9) and Addison (7 months), her loving siblings Daniel (Julie) Kirn, Susan (Steve) Bean, Terry (Beth) Kirn, several amazing nieces, nephews, and friends.
Please consider a donation in Judys name to the Alzheimers Association, St Judes Hospital, or The Heart Association, as these organizations were very important to her.
Calling hours will be held from 2-5 pm Saturday, April, 16th, 2022 with services to immediately follow at Moreland Funeral Home in Westerville, OH.

I worked with Judy at the Cooker restaurant on Cleveland Avenue. I will always remember her as a very caring and kind person who gave her best to her guests and coworkers.

I have no words to say that have not been said about Judy. Clearly she lead her professional life, as she did her personal life; she was one of those rare people, a light. May the joy and generosity she shared with so many continue to grow., may it also bring you Pat, Mackenzie & Megan, and all the precious ‘grands’, comfort during the coming days, months and years. Peace and love to all of you.

Judy has been my boss, friend and mentor the last 6+ years at Wesco. She was always so caring and fun and I feel fortunate to have spent so much time with her over the years. Judy cared about my family as if we were a part of hers which was an honor. She loved her family deeply and I feel like I know so many of them well just from our conversations over the years. Prayers for Pat, her girls and the rest of her family. She will be missed!

I am very shocked and saddened to hear of Judy’s sudden and tragic passing. I am also very grateful to have had the opportunity to see Judy a few weeks ago at a gathering of WESCO coworkers and to sit across from her and talk to her after two years of COVID hibernation. I had the privilege of being her coworker for the past eight years and will greatly miss her. My deepest condolences to Judy’s family and best wishes that you can find peace in your good memories.

Ankita Shah - Apr 12, 2022
This incredibly sad news was more than shocking to hear. Judy was a staple in our HR group. I had the pleasure of meeting her when I started with Wesco and learned all about her love for Ohio State and her children. She seemed like such a power house - someone to look up to within the company. I only wish I had been able to spend more time with her. My deepest sympathies go out to her loved ones.
Brian Roy - Apr 12, 2022
In September of 2020, I accepted an interview request for a position with WESCO, I was hesitant to take the interview, but I thought I will just take this one call and move-on. The first interview was with Judy and she IS the reason why there was a second interview and ultimately an offer to work for WESCO. Thank you, you are a true professional and great representative to our industry. Sincerely and condolences to her family; she has a lot of "legacy" she built and influenced.

There are no words to describe how saddened I am to hear of Judy's passing. I am so lucky to have enjoyed her amazing friendship for so many years beginning way back when Mackenzie and Noelle played soccer and Greg was their coach. So many great times we all had together!!! Judy's smile lit up the room and she was always so upbeat and supportive all through Greg's cancer and his passing. I will miss her so much. Prayers of love and support to you Pat, Megan, Makenzie and all extended family. Praying for God's comfort on all of you. love and hugs, Kathleen
