Judith was a very dedicated parent, crafter and avid sports fan. She was very active in all her children’s lives, including coaching softball at the Jack Barry Little league. She also spent many hours knitting and quilting. She would find great relaxation and joy in quilting and knitting blankets that are still displayed in her home. She also was a true Red Sox fan and by that she complained about every move they made. She loved going to Fenway Park to cheer the team on. When they finally won the World Series in 2004 you could hear her screams of joy across the city.
When not watching sports or crafting, you could find Judy playing Bingo with her close friends and daughter. She would frequent the Bingo parlors at Foxwoods and at Sacred Heart – St. Catherine’s of Sweden. These nights provided many memories with people she cared greatly for.
A Mass of Christian Burial which will be held at 10:00 AM on Saturday February 4, 2023 at Sacred Heart – St. Catherine of Sweden at 596 Cambridge St. Burial will follow in St. John’s Cemetery in Worcester.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the St. John’s Food Pantry of Worcester, MA. as it continues to be a very difficult time for those in need.
