Judith A. Lynch, 88, of Olmsted Falls, passed away peacefully on February 21, 2026, surrounded by the love she so freely gave throughout her life. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, she was the cherished daughter of the late Ralph and Ruth Weiser.
Judy’s life was defined by love. She was the beloved partner of Roy Ewing, whose companionship brought her happiness, excitement, and comfort. She was a devoted and loving mother to Brian Lynch (Cheryl), Michael Lynch (Darlene), and Karen Paletta. Her children were her pride and joy, and she carried them in her heart every day of her life.
Johnny, her first-born grandson, held an especially tender place in her heart due to the challenges he faced in life. She was also a deeply cherished grandmother to Michael Lynch, Nicole Lynch, and Cody Paletta, Danny McLeod (Amy) and great-grandmother to Lexi and Ethan Lynch, and Cain McLeod (Tina) treasuring moments spent with them.
Judy was a loving sister to the late Linda Jobes (Marvin). The two shared a close and special bond, and Linda’s passing was a loss that Judy carried deeply in her heart.
Judy maintained lifelong bonds built on kindness, respect, and compassion — qualities that defined her character. She had a gentle spirit, an infectious smile, and a heart that always had room for one more. Loving, kind, caring, and devoted, she gave of herself freely and unconditionally. Her home was a place of comfort, laughter, and unwavering support.
Those who knew Judy will remember her steady presence, her thoughtful words, and the way she made everyone feel valued and loved. Though her family’s hearts are heavy, they find comfort in the countless memories she created and the love that will continue to guide them.
The family will receive friends on Thursday, February 26, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., with sharing of memories at 12:00 p.m., at A. Ripepi & Sons Funeral Home, 18149 Bagley Rd., Middleburg Heights, Ohio 44130. Interment will follow at Holy Cross Cemetery in Brook Park, Ohio.
Her love was her legacy — and that love will live on forever in all who were blessed to know her.
