I have known Judi ever since I was a little girl. Our families lived around the corner from each other and she and her sister Kathy went to the same
Elementary school as my sister Janet and I did. Our families were very close l, especially our mothers, and we spent a lot of time together both in school and outside of school always at each other’s houses, playing in the neighborhood and simply growing up through the years. Judi and Janet were great friends as her sister Kathy and I were. We unfortunately lost touch after we all went off to college, but reconnected over the years on Facebook reminiscing about our youth and all the happy memories we shared during our childhood. Judi was a beautiful person inside and out and it is evident from the picture how much I idolized her as I did my big sister. I always wanted to hang out with the older siblings and even though little sisters can be a pain once in a while, she always made me feel included. We often chatted on Facebook, but I am really shocked by this very sad and unexpected news. My deepest condolences to her husband, son, daughter in law, grandson and sister, Kathy. I pray that God gives her wonderful family all the peace and strength they need during this difficult time and that the memories they hold in their hearts will help ease their grief and pain and fill their hearts with love ❤️Judy will be sorely missed by everyone who had the pleasure of calling her their friend. I will remember her fondly and she will always be in my heart. Susan Rutigliano Pautz

Judi and I met in high school (Notre Dame Academy) and quickly hit it off. She was my best friend during those years. After I moved west, we lost touch for a while, but managed to find each other again at some point, and we have stayed in touch over the past 40 years. I still have many photos of those high school days, a time that I cherish in large part because Judi was just so much fun! I also have very fond memories of her parents and her sister Kathy. I wish her family the peace of knowing how much she was cherished by her friends. May you all find peace and comfort during this difficult time.

I was blessed to have known Judi since her and Rich started dating. There are so many memories over the last 40+ years that I have. One of my fondest memories was when Fish asked me to deliver flowers to Judi when she was working at Kmart. I know it was a bit embarrassing to Judi, but that was when she knew Rich really cared for her. Although I moved to Arizona in 1986 I would come back to Staten Island to visit and I was always welcomed to stay with her and Fish. She always treated me like family and made sure Sean called me "Uncle Keith". Judi was totally devoted to Rich and Sean, and she was gracious to all who visited. .And, she always gloated about Noah every time I talked with her. To Rich, Sean, Amanda, Kathy and Noah, a traditional Irish blessing....
May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
I love you all. Keep the faith...
