Judy graduated from Forest Lake Academy in 1986. After high school she met Mario Anthony Pedrero Jr. on a blind date and they soon married for 32 wonderful years. She gave birth to two sons, Mario Anthony Pedrero III and Michael Alan Pedrero. Judy pursued a career in child care while raising her two sons alongside her husband, as he served in the U.S. Air Force. The family moved with Mario’s career from Florida to Nevada, Italy, then New Mexico and finally settled back to her home town of Tampa, Florida when her husband retired from the military. Judy transitioned into a career with social security as a teleservice representative and worked for the federal government for 10 years. She lived her life to the fullest and enjoyed going on cruises, coloring, reading books, and most of all spending time with her family, especially her granddaughter Ava.
Judy is survived by her husband, Mario Jr.; sons, Mario III and wife, Angie, Michael; granddaughter, Ava; mother, Jennie; brothers, James, Ronald, and Andrew.
