Juditha Laigo Obituary

Juditha S. Terrado LAIGO July 9, 1960 ~ April 9, 2011 Judy Terrado Laigo was born in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija, Philippines, on July 9th, 1960, to Miguel and Cresencia Terrado. In 1975, she moved to Oak Harbor, Washington, and then to Long Island, New York, where she lived with her aunt, and graduated from Sachem High School in 1979. She enrolled at Seattle University in the fall of 1979, where she met her future husband, Adrian Laigo. They married in 1982. Son, Tylor, was born in 1983, followed by daughter, Alliette, in 1985, and Rafael, in 1990. As a busy working mother, Judy advanced to the position of Vice President with Bank of America, before choosing to be a stay at home mother, cultivating her interests in cooking, gardening, traveling and skiing. Judy possessed a contagious spirit of adventure, creativity, and a natural mechanical inclination. She engrossed herself in the reading genre of fantasy and sci-fi, as was reflected in the names of her beloved dogs, Sirius and Hermione, both Harry Potter characters. Despite ongoing treatment for ovarian cancer, Judy never limited herself and continued to live life fully. She loved hosting family gatherings, traveling, and taking up new recreation in golf, and motorcycling with her husband, Adrian. Warm and generous to the end, she will be missed tremendously. Judy is survived by her parents, husband, children and brothers, Lito (So'o), Mike, Milko and Anthony (Clarisa). Rosary service - Friday 4/15 at 7:00 p.m. at Bonney Watson Funeral Home on Broadway. Funeral service will be Saturday, April 16th, at 1pm at Immaculate Conception Church, 810 18th Ave., Seattle 98122. Remembrances to the Swedish Hospital Ovarian Cancer Research Center at www.marsharivkin.org.

I knew Judy at Seattle U('79-80). Her first roomate was from Guam and so am I, so that is how we met. We had fun playing pool in the dorm game room or walking in the rain down Broadway Ave. She even invited us to her Aunt's place for dinner at Whidbey Island. I will always remember the time I spent with her. God bless her family and my condolences.
