Judith Anne "Judi" (Reardon) Heath, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on March 5, 2026, at Good Shepherd Hospice House in Sebring, Florida. She was 77 years old.
Born on December 23, 1948, in Quincy, Massachusetts, Judi was the cherished daughter of John and Virginia Reardon. She grew up in a loving family as one of six siblings: Jack (and his wife Sandy), James (and his wife Gretchen), Jay, Janis (and her husband Randy), and Jerry (and his wife Judy). Her childhood in Quincy laid the foundation for a life filled with love and devotion to family.
Judi attended the Boston Conservatory School of Music, where she nurtured her passion for music. Later in life, she pursued a career in healthcare as a certified Nurse's Assistant and worked extensively in medical records. Her dedication to helping others was evident throughout her professional life.
On July 5, 1967, Judi eloped with the love of her life, James Heath Sr., in Laconia, New Hampshire. Their union was a testament to enduring love and partnership. Together they built a beautiful family and shared countless memories over their many years together.
Judi and Jim were proud parents to three children: Jimi (and his wife Shannon), Missy (and her husband Ernie Jr.), and Mike. Judi's heart overflowed with pride for her extended family. She was an extraordinary Nanny to Connor, Justin, Chris, Alex (and her husband Cameron), Ernie III, Steph (and his wife Addy), Brianna (and her husband Jason), Marissa (and her boyfriend Elias), Ashley (and her husband Michael), Brian, and Daniel. Her joy only grew as she became a Great Nanny to Mackenzie, Melanie, Carter, Charlotte, and Jason Michael.
A woman of deep faith and devotion to God, Judi found comfort and strength through her relationship with her Lord and Savior. Her unwavering belief brought peace to those around her. For all who knew Judi, this is not goodbye but rather "see you later," as she now rests free from pain or worry in the arms of God.
Judi loved life deeply and touched everyone she met with kindness and warmth. She will be remembered as a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother, Nanny, Auntie Judi to many nieces & nephews & dear friend whose legacy lives on through the countless lives she impacted.
In honor of Judi's memory and the compassionate care she received at the end of her journey, donations may be made to Good Shepherd Hospice House in Sebring.
May Judi's memory bring comfort to all who knew her until we meet again.
