Judith C. Kalish

Judith Kalish, 88, passed away peacefully in her home at Orchard Cove in Canton, MA on January 24,2025. Judy was surrounded by her family in her final hours and passed knowing that she was so well loved. Judy lived a full life and enjoyed every moment of that life residing in Hull, MA where she and her late husband, Irving, raised their three children.

Judy worked at Talbots for many years, but really her passion was her family, her friends, and a long day at the beach. She was famous for making enough tuna sandwiches to feed everyone in “the circle” and beyond. She was also passionate about her community at Temple Beth Sholom in Hull and could be found there on almost any day cooking up something in the kitchen.

Judy was predeceased by her beloved husband Irving in 2021 and never quite knew how to go on without him by her side. That said, she moved into Orchard Cove at the age of 85 and formed amazing friendships that sustained her for the three years that she was there. She also became an integral part of the Orchard Cove community and her family will be forever grateful to the staff and residents who became a part of her family.

Judy is survived by her children Sheryl Sacharoff and her husband Alex, Neal Kalish and his wife Lisa, and Cindy Kalish and her wife Martha. She is survived by her grandchildren, Justin, Cory, Hannah and her fiancée Kevin, AnaBella, Andrew, Harrison, Nicholas and Samuel. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and very dear friends. Judy loved everyone immediately and loved nothing more than feeding her whole family and anyone who would come by.

Funeral services will be at Stanetsky Memorial Chapel, 475 Washington Street,Canton, MA on Monday January 27 at 10 AM with burial following immediately at Sharon Memorial Park, 40 Dedham Street, Sharon, MA. Shiva and lunch to follow at Orchard Cove, 1 Del Pond Drive, Canton, MA.
