Judy, a beloved daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and friend, was born in Malden and most recently resided in Andover. She passed away peacefully on July 15, 2025, surrounded by the warmth and love of her family.
Judy was the cherished daughter of Arthur Ardolino and Marilyn Ardolino. Judy was preceded in death by her loving stepmother, Janet White. She was a devoted mother to her daughter, Santina Lewey, and took great joy in being a proud Nana to her grandson, Cole Michael Lewey. The love Judy had for Santina and Cole was immeasurable; they were truly the center of her universe. She is survived by five loving sisters: Patty (Medoff), Donna, Terri, Denise (Martin), and Janice Ardolino, who shared an unbreakable bond with her. Judy was also a cherished aunt to Nina, Jeff, Joseph Medoff, Mikey, Mark, Michelle, Michaela Stubbs, Jessica Ardolino-Puleo, Rachel, Maya, and Joe Martin, each of whom held a special place in her heart. Her absence will be deeply felt, not only by her extended family, the Lewey’s, but also by many other family members and friends. Judy will be missed by all who knew her.
Judy was known for her generous and sensitive heart, with a remarkable ability to uplift the spirits of those around her. Her legacy is woven into the cherished memories she created with her daughter and grandson, as well as her family and friends. She will be remembered for her unwavering kindness, sense of humor, and the laughter she shared with everyone she encountered. Judy was selfless and had a passion for drawing and painting, constantly seeking to grow every day.
Her absence leaves a profound void, but her kindness, selflessness, and spirit will continue to shine in the hearts of her family and all who knew her.
In honor of Judy’s life, a private memorial celebration will be held for family and close friends.
