Judy passed away peacefully in Margate, Florida on May 23, 2025. The following message is from Judy’s daughter, Chantal: It’s with a sad heart that I share that my loving mom passed away peacefully on May 23rd, 2025. She was a bright light who lived a big, full life. When she walked into a room, you knew she was there, she sparkled. ⭐️ Those of you who knew her know exactly what I mean Her friends and family knew how deeply she loved. She was young at heart, always up for a good time, and wore her heart on her sleeve, something I’m proud to have inherited. Just by being herself, she taught me to be open, to forgive, and to understand that life has its ups and downs, but we keep going… She traveled the world as a flight attendant, lit up the room as a model, and danced the nights away at Studio 54 with my dad and their friends. And most of all, she was a mom, a deeply caring, I’m here for you always, kind of mom. She was my best friend, and we had a blast. We laughed until we couldn’t breathe and spent countless hours just sharing and talking. There was such an ease being with her, a reminder not to take life too seriously. I’ve always felt so grateful that she was my mom, and I always will. I will love you forever, mom.
