Jay E. Levy 1944-2021

A native of Youngstown, he was born Oct. 17, 1944, the beloved son of the late Herman B. and Ruth Garber Levy.

Jay was a 1966 graduate of Miami University of Ohio and a 1970 graduate of the University of Maryland School of Law. Jay enjoyed a long and successful career as a health care attorney, serving as an assistant attorney general for the Maryland Health Services Cost Review Commission and general counsel to North Arundel Hospital, Union of Cecil Hospital, and Carroll Hospital Center.

Jay was passionate about golf. Some of his favorite times were spent on the golf course with friends or his favorite companion, Debbie. When not on the golf course, he was happiest with Debbie wandering around the Musee d’Orsay admiring Monet’s Water Lilies.

Jay was a devoted father to his four children; he attended every sporting event, orchestra concert and graduation. He took immense pride in all their accomplishments but never missed an opportunity to showcase his superior trivia knowledge while watching “Jeopardy.”

Over the course of his life, Jay was a loving caretaker for numerous spoiled Airedale and wire fox terriers.

Jay is survived by his wife, Deborah “Debbie” Clark Levy; children Joshua (Tara) Levy, Ben (Stacy Landsman) Levy, Katherine (Jeremy Epstein) Levy and Emily (Ross Dubin) Levy, all of Baltimore, Md.; and four granddaughters Corinne Levy, Keira Levy, Hannah Levy and Clara Epstein.
