Judith's warm and giving nature made those around her feel like family. Her love and compassion extended beyond her immediate family, touching the lives of friends and acquaintances alike. Known for her contagious smile, Judith's warmth was a beacon of joy for anyone in her presence.

She will be fondly remembered for her incredible skills in the kitchen. Her cooking and baking were legendary, and she treasured the moments spent hosting holiday celebrations filled with love, laughter, and delicious food. Her gatherings were always full of joy, embodying her belief in the importance of family and togetherness.

Judith was especially proud of her role as a mother and grandmother. Her greatest joy came from her family, whom she cherished above all. She devoted her life to nurturing and supporting her loved ones, creating beautiful memories that will be treasured forever.

Judith graduated from Bulkeley High School in 1962. In her youth, she participated in the 1960’s World Fair as a talented polka dancer. She married her beloved husband, Philip Arthmann, on September 11, 1971, and together they raised two sons, Gregory and Christopher, in West Roxbury, Massachusetts. Judith dedicated 26 years to Liberty Mutual Insurance Company before retiring in 2006.

In retirement, Judith and Philip relocated to Wethersfield, Connecticut, where they have lived for the past 17 years. There, she continued to spread her love and kindness, making their home a place of warmth for family and friends.
