Judith “Judy” Buttaro, 52, of Derry, NH died Friday October 28, 2011 at the Parkland Medical Center, in Derry. Judy was born in Hartford, CT on May 25, 1959, the daughter of Donald and Beatrice (Bolles) Heywood. She was a resident of Derry, where she taught as a substitute teacher for eleven years.

She had a passion for inspiring success in others and took special pride in watching her three sons grow and become independent.
Including her parents, she is survived by her Husband Mark and their three sons, David of Greenville, NC, Peter and Matthew, both of Derry.
