We bid farewell to Judith Westra (Wyckoff, New Jersey), whose journey of life gracefully concluded on April 12, 2025 at the age of 82. Judith touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts.

As Judith departs from this earthly realm, her essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death.
