She will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her, including her dog, Sophie.

Bastien of Manchester; a stepson, Ronald Foley and his fiancée, Deb DiMarzio, of Goffstown; three sisters, Lynne C. Wilson, Donna L.

My sincere sympathies to Judi's family and friends. I'm sorry I missed the obit and didn't help represent the old Maynard Ave neighborhood of the '50's and '60's, which had to be one of the best anywhere. Judi was an especially good friend to my sister, Lynne (Nassoura) Spaulding - - thanks, Judi!

My deepest sympathy to all of you. I will always remember the first time I met Judi. I was in the 5th grade at a new school and was scared to death. I didn't know anyone & spent the first few days alone. Then this beautiful girl with the biggest smile I ever saw said she'd be my friend and took me under her wing. I'll never forget how special she made me feel. I'll always remember her smile and her great laugh.
God Bless.
