Judith was a very successful caregiver at CVH. She was much loved and appreciated by the patients that she cared for and by her staff peers. She would often give extra effort to bring comfort and kindness to the infirm. This was continuously shown by their positive responses to her when she was on duty.
Judith also gave of herself to family and friends. She was always available for help, to listen and encourage, and offer a cheerful upbeat when needed. She was a caring mother and wonderful wife to a very lucky and appreciative husband. She and her husband Ron were very active during their personal time. They both loved the outdoors whether at home or doing seasonal travel. Whether it was New England local, around the country, or foreign travel there was always the enjoyment of new places to explore. Winter skiing, summer beaching, lots of shows and concerts, dining out, and just plain enjoying what life could offer. She was always fun to be with and was particularly engaging and receptive to others no matter where she was. Given a couple of days she would know many of the people in a new destination because that’s how warm and friendly she was. She was a joy to be with. An excellent cook, creative craft person, and attentive homemaker that she took great pride in. She will be greatly missed by family and those who knew her.
She leaves her husband Ron of East Hampton, her son Robert and his wife Laura Turitz of Eagle, Colorado, her sister Laurel and husband William Ruimerman of Berlin, CT, nieces Robin DelVecchio of Durham, CT, Wendy Palecny of Middletown,CT, and Laurie Rochette also of Middletown, and many extended family members.
And finally, a word of thanks to all that gave good care to Judy during her long journey with Alzheimers. Her final care came in the Marlborough Health and Rehabilitation Center. Enough cannot be said of the kindness and exceptional care given by all of the staff there. They are a 5 star rating that easily deserve 10 stars. Her care was personal and professional at all levels. Even at the end when this terrible virus ravaged people and facilities, they went above and beyond the call of duty. TLC was the standard.
