Judith White Rowe

Scarborough- Judith (Trussell) White Rowe, 76, of South Portland, passed away on March 25, 2016 at Gosnell Memorial Hospice House in Scarborough. She was born in Gardiner, Maine daughter of John B. and Ruth E. (Webb) Trussell. Judi graduated from Portland High School in 1958 and married Ronald White in 1959. She was blessed with 27 years of marriage to Ronald, raising 3 children and enjoying their young grandchildren together before his untimely and young passing in 1986. In 1990, she was blessed again and married David Rowe and enjoyed nearly 26 years together traveling throughout the US, Europe and the Caribbean and camping every summer with family and friends. Judi loved her work as a receiving clerk for Hannaford Bros for 27 years and made many lasting friendships there. She was also an active member of the Italian Heritage. She lived a healthy and active life up until the last four years when she developed lung disease and even then she remained as socially active as she could. Over the last several years the highlight of her week was lunch out with her group of girlfriends. She gave love to her family and friends and medical providers right up until 18 hours before she slipped into a deep sleep and passed from God’s hands here to God’s hands in heaven.

She is survived by her husband David of South Portland; sons, Ronald White, Jr. and wife Karen of Scarborough; Mark White of Portland; daughter, Rhonda White of South Portland; grandchildren, Ryan and wife Rachel of San Diego, CA, Shawn and fiancé Nichole of Westbrook, Gerik and Anya of South Portland as well as two great grandchildren, Rylee and Ryder. She is also survived by her husband’s children David Rowe, Jr and wife Karen of Westbrook, Tracy Rowe of Portland and Debra (Rowe) White and husband Randy of Scarborough; grandchildren Meaghan, Janessa, Matthew, Devin and Joshua; and her best friend since high school Tavia Corey.
