Judith Antonietta Juritsch

Born and raised on a farm in Italy, Judy immigrated to the United States at the age of 15. She has had multiple careers over her lifetime, but her favorite job was being a mother to Elizabeth and Billy. She was a woman with many passions. Judy was so proud of her garden where she spent most of her free time; growing vegetables,fruits, and flowers. She was a talented seamstress and cook. She loved making meals for her family, especially the Italian Christmas tradition of the Feast of Seven Fishes. She made many friends at the Senior Citizens community, Red Hat Society, and her local Parish. Judy's favorite way to pass time was to spend it with her late husband, Paul. After his passing, Judy spent time in Florida at Discovery Village and Virginia at Westmont to be closer to family. She is predeceased by her husband, Paul Juritsch, and son, William Di Lunardi. She is survived by: her sister, Carmella "Millie"; her daughter, Elizabeth Reber; her grandchildren, Jessica Reber, Matthew Reber, Rachael Di Lunardi, and Katie Reber; her stepchildren, Richie Juritsch, Joan Smith, and Cathie Christie. She is also survived by her many step-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Judy can be visited by friends and family on Sunday, March 5th, from 4pm to 8pm at Higgins Funeral Home in New City, NY. Mass will be held on Monday the 6th at 10am at St. Paul's church, where she was a parishioner,in Congers, NY. Judy will be laid to rest at St. Anthony's Cemetery in Nanuet, NY. She will be interred with her husband, Paul, and only a few spots down from her son, Billy.

Judy had an uncanny ability to make everyone feel like family and make friends wherever she went. She will be sorely missed by her family and loved ones.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Parish of St. Paul Catholic Church
