Judy was bornJune 4, 1938 in New York, New York, the daughter of Andrew & Anna T. Donohue.
She grew up in New York and was fortunate to be neighbors with the Drew family, James, Richard & Julia, who were like her brothers and sister. She remained very close with the Drew’s and delighted in knowing the many children and grandchildren as the family grew through the years. Judy and her late husband Joseph were long-time residents of Laconia and both de-voted their time and energy to the catholic church. They ran the St. Joseph Church bingo for years and were always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. Judy loved all things Irish and was proud of her heritage. A special memory was the trip to Ireland she and Joe took with family.
Judy worked as the administrator of the St. Francis Home for many years and compassionately cared for residents and families. She herself expe-rienced the compassion of the St. Francis caregivers and was fortunate to be surrounded by the people she loved in her final days.
Judy is survived by two-step sons; Anthony J. Fay of Florida and Steven Fay of Hooksett. She is also survived by long time friend Evelyn Festa of Laconia.
As per Judy’s wishes, there will be no calling hours.
