Carl Psota

Deacon Carl E. Psota, 83, entered into eternal rest on December 27, 2025, in Douglasville, Georgia. Born in South Amboy, New Jersey, Carl was a man of steadfast faith whose life was defined by his "living homily" of humility and love.

Carl was predeceased by his parents, Frank and Helen Psota, and is survived by his brother, Frank.

An industrious man of many talents, Carl held professional licenses in both real estate and power plant operations. He built a long and dependable career in terminal management and quality control, earning a reputation for integrity, diligence, and quiet leadership.

In 1989, Carl answered a lifelong calling and was ordained as a Deacon in the Diocese of Metuchen. He dedicated over 30 years of active ministry to St. James Parish in Woodbridge, New Jersey, where he compassionately guided families through baptisms, marriages, and seasons of hardship. Upon relocating to Georgia, he continued his life of service at St. Theresa of the Child Jesus Church, remaining active in the parish for as long as he was able.

Carl’s greatest joy was his family.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Judith, with whom he shared 60 years of marriage—a union rooted in faith and enduring love.

His legacy continues through his daughter Beth Ann Dudek and husband Beniamin Dudek, and her children Devin Pellegrino, John Perry Pellegrino, Ireland Pellegrino, and Vivian Pellegrino; his daughter Amy Horan and husband Ed McCall, and her children Catie Horan, James Horan, Patrick Seamus Horan, and Daniel Jr. Horan; and his great-grandchildren Alana Mae Dozier and Noah Horan.
