Marvin Howard Levick, born on March 11, 1934, to the late Bennie and Lillian, in Pittsburgh, PA, passed away peacefully, on Friday, January 24, 2025, leaving behind the legacy of his loving family.
Marvin is survived by his beloved wife of 64 years, Judy (Markowitz), with whom he shared a lifetime of cherished memories. Together, they raised three children, Debra Levick Rudel, and Emery Levick (Cynthia) and Ronald Levick. Marvin was a proud grandfather to Eric Rudel (Elizabeth), Alex Rudel (Rebecca), Rachel Rudel, Andrea Levick, Macy Levick, Rowan Levick, and Kyle Levick. He was also blessed with two great-grandchildren, Goldie (Alex and Rebecca) and Evelyn (Eric and Elizabeth). Also survived by his loving sister, Marcia (Levick) Fireman; and Judy’s brother, Earl Markowitz; and his many nieces and nephews.
A lifelong learner and academic achiever, Marvin graduated first in his class from the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy. He was invited to Omicron Delta Kappa, National Leadership Honor Society (Pitt’s highest undergraduate honor), which earned him a commemorative brick on the University’s Walk of Fame. He continued his education at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, where he excelled as one of the top students in his class. His passion for knowledge and commitment to excellence defined his career as a physician. After his tour with the US Public Health Service, he joined a private practice in the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh, where he touched countless lives with his care and compassion.
Marvin and Judy shared a love for travel that took them to fascinating destinations around the globe. Their adventures were marked by a world map adorned with push pins representing the many places they visited together; always accompanied by Marvin’s trusty pillow.
Marvin’s studious nature follows him in death as being part of a study for Altzheimers research. Due to this study, the family has chosen to forgo a traditional funeral. Following a private service, Shiva will be held for one night at Ron’s home, on the corner of Aylesboro (5751) and Murray, in Squirrel Hill, on Monday, January 27, 2025, at 7:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations will be appreciated for the Anti-Defamation League or a charity of your choice: https://support.adl.org/give/174715/#!/donation/checkout.
