Judith Ann Drago

Drago, Judith Ann, 78, of Farmingdale passed away March 2, 2025. Judy was the beloved wife of over 54 years to Michael Anthony. She was a loving mother to Michael Christopher and mother-in-law to Rosalie Drago. Judy took immense pride and joy in being a treasured grandmother to Michael John and Madeline Rose. She was also a precious sister to Linda Hinson and a dear aunt to Matthew and Lauren Hinson. As an adored godmother to Merideth Stahl and Matthew, Judy's spirit touched many lives. Judy was a cherished friend to many.  Whether it was a long-time high school friend, or someone she met as an active and devoted member of the Massapequa Garden Club, Den Mother to Cub Scout Pack 601 or Plainedge PTA mom, these special connections blossomed into a second family. Judy was an energetic and determined individual who always strove for excellence. She took great pride in her appearance, and her vibrant spirit was truly inspiring to everyone around her. She lovingly crafted every detail of her Victorian-style home to create a warm and welcoming environment for all who entered.  Judy’s adventures with her soulmate took her many places.  She explored Spain, Portugal, and other countries, and she honeymooned in Hawaii. Later in life, she enjoyed multiple cruises to Canada and the Caribbean. She cherished boating in the Great South Bay with her husband every weekday, often from afternoon until the early hours of the next morning. Judith always looked forward to the annual friend's trip to Montauk and the 'Girl's Weekend,' where they shared countless laughs and created many wonderful memories. Yet at home, the center of it all was family and friends.  These were the light of her life, and she loved spending the holidays, especially Christmas eve, with them. She will be forever missed. The family will receive visitors Thursday, March 6th, 2-4 and 7-9 pm at Arthur F. White Funeral Home, Inc., 315 Conklin Street, Farmingdale. Funeral Mass Friday, March 7th, 9:15 am at St. James RC Church, Seaford. Interment following at Pinelawn Memorial Park.
