Jennifer Rebecca Smith (nee Brytczuk), 47, of Kirkwood, PA, passed away on Wednesday, July 18, 2018 at her home surrounded by family and friends. She was the beloved wife of Kevin R. Broderick, her husband of 20 years, and the mother of three children she deeply loved. Born in New York, NY, on August 7, 1970, Jennifer was the daughter of Gary A. Brytczuk and Carol Devlin Brytczuk of State College, PA. She was a graduate of State College Area High School and she attended East Carolina University. Jennifer worked most recently as a manager at APG Federal Credit Union in Bel Air, MD. While her children were young, Jennifer successfully pursued an entrepreneurial path, balancing family time with work and inspiring and mentoring many women along the way. She was adored by coworkers for her unwavering encouragement, generosity and guidance. Known for her positive spirit and engaging smile, Jennifer’s warmth touched everyone she met. A voracious reader, she loved spending time at the beach and the view from her backyard deck. Mostly, she loved her family and was fiercely proud of the way her sons have grown into caring, loving and hard-working young men, and of her cherished daughter’s growth as a dancer and her academic achievements.
In addition to her husband and parents, Jennifer is survived by her children, Patrick Evan Smith, 25, of Venice Beach, Calif., Avery Luke Smith, 23, of Raleigh, NC, and Elise Carolyn Broderick, 13, of Kirkwood; brothers, Jeff Brytczuk of Lewistown, PA, Greg Brytczuk of State College, PA, and Gary Brytczuk of Prospect Park, PA; her long-time best friend, Jennifer Chop Deininger, of Bucks County, PA; and an extended loving family, including nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 12:00 Noon on Saturday, July 28, at Saint Catherine of Siena Church, 955 Robert Fulton Highway, Quarryville, PA 17566. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in Jennifer’s memory to The Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund. To leave an online condolence, please visit www.dewalds.com. Comments are closed.
