Stephanie Lee Belusar, 73, of N Huntingdon, PA passed away peacefully on November 11, 2024 after a long battle with cancer. She was surrounded by the love of her family and friends during her final days. She was born on July 8, 1951 and was the daughter of the late Albert and Charlotte (Beondy) Josephic. 

Stephanie worked for the family businesses for most of her life; Chateau Realty, Placid Manor and Charlie J’s. She was known for her work ethic, compassion, fairness and willingness to lend an ear or a hand when needed. She maintained the friendships she made for decades after Charlie J’s closed. In later years she worked for Giant Eagle, then Education Management  Corporation when she retired in 2019. 

Family was the thing she valued the most. She always made you feel like you were her number one priority. She would do anything for those she loved.  Anytime you needed help or someone to talk to, you called Steph. Her favorite days were the ones spent with her children and the grandchildren she adored. 

Stephanie was passionate about sports. In her younger years she was often the first one picked to be on the team. She enjoyed bowling and playing golf. She loved hosting watch parties on Steelers Sunday and never missed a game.  

Stephanie is survived by her daughter, Jodie (Mark) Spagnolli, her son, Michael (Erica) Tokarsky, three grandchildren, Jake Spagnolli, Jordan Spagnolli and Faye Tokarsky. She is also survived by her sisters, Diane (John) Pugliano, Beth (Dennis) Liotta and brother John (Kerri) Josephic and several nieces and nephews.  

She was loved deeply and will forever be missed. Her memory will live on in the hearts of everyone that loved her.

A celebration of life will take place on February 1, 2025. See the attached link for details:  https://www.eventcreate.com/e/celebratestephaniebelusar
