Update from Carolyn, Libby’s daughterIt is with deep sadness that I share the heartbreaking news of my dad, Joe Judge, passing away unexpectedly on July 28th while in Key Largo, FL. My mom, Libby, was blessed to share 50 years of marriage with him.Dad lived a life full of love, laughter, and presence. He lit up every room he entered, had a rare gift for making people feel at ease, and was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. We laid him to rest on August 9th, surrounded by family and friends who loved him deeply, and we continue to grieve this tremendous loss. Read his obituary here: Joseph Gerard Judge Obituary July 28, 2025 - The Donohue Funeral Homes Inc.Just days after Dad passed, Mom faced a serious health setback. She was hospitalized for five nights at Chester County Hospital to receive treatment for serious infections and to undergo necessary tests. Thankfully, she received the care she needed to be well enough to attend Dad’s funeral. She is now home and focused on continued treatments and healing, though it will take time and continued care.Please feel free to call, write, and visit Libby. We appreciate your outpouring of love along with your donations for her continued care. Knowing that Mom (and our family) has a strong community behind her brings a bit of comfort as she navigates both grief and recovery.Thank you for walking alongside us during this very difficult time.Sincerely, Carolyn

I learned an important lesson recently, and that is to NEVER boast! A couple of months ago I was bragging about canceling my standing reservation at Chester County Hospital, since it had been almost a year since my last stay. A record I was proud of. Then bam! Just as Joe and I were preparing to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, I reclaimed my bed there. It was not exactly how we envisioned our landmark year.

I have been fortunate to have found a few Ukrainian women to come in to help me. Besides taking care of me, they follow my instructions in making dinners for my family.They are also able to take me to appointments and meet friends for lunch, dinner or a movie. Your past contributions have made all this possible.

A good portion of my time I spend going to the various sporting events following our 7 grandchildren, who range from 2 to 20. Who knew how riveting 6 year old girls soccer could be!

A highlight of this past year was an annual reunion weekend at the beach with childhood girlfriends. We went on a sunset cruise on the Delaware Bay. It was the first time being on a boat in 10 years. Never to be out done, Joe surprised me with a whale and dolphin watching cruise in Cape May later in the summer. Does life get any better than that?

Of course summer would not be complete without going to a Phillies game. It was exciting season until their disappointing loss to the New York Mets in the playoffs. We can only hope that our Eagles won’t let us down and will take us to the Super Bowl.

I wish you all a wonderful holiday season filled with joy.
