Spartans lost 2-0 to champions Glasgow City and finish the race in fifth.
Hamilton thrashed Kilmarnock 7-1, Rangers beat Hutchison Vale 1-0 and Falkirk defeated Inverness 3-2 thanks to a Lorraine Cadden own goal and strikes from Jade Gallon and Emma Lyons .
Kilmarnock and Inverness are the teams to be relegated.
Commenting on Forfar's achievement, manager Mark Nisbet said: "I am delighted to get three points. It was a hard game and we matched it.
"Looking at the bigger picture I am delighted to finish second. It is just reward for the players. It is a very proud moment and I was fighting back the tears in the dressing room."
With the SWPL now concluded, Forfar's next challenge is in the Scottish Cup final, where they will take on league champions and Scottish Cup holders Glasgow City next Sunday at Airdrie's Excelsior Stadium.
