Judith Ann Ranfos

Judith Ann Ranfos, 74, of Manchester, NH, passed away on June 14, 2025, after a sudden illness.

Born in Perth Amboy, NJ, on December 10, 1950, she was the daughter of Charles and Mary (Fee) Emmons. Judith spent most of her life in the Queen City, where she graduated from Manchester High School Central.

Judith was the proud owner of Stacey's Restaurant for many years, where her work ethic, warmth, and welcoming nature left a lasting impression on the community.

Judith was known for her sharp wit and great sense of humor. Her quick comebacks and playful spirit often brought laughter to those around her. Judith had a big heart and a deeply caring nature. She was the kind of person who always made others feel seen, valued, and loved. She had a great love for bingo and the New Hampshire Lottery, finding joy in the excitement and anticipation they brought. Whether marking her bingo card or picking her lucky numbers, Judith cherished the simple thrill of the game and the sense of hope and fun it offered. It was never just about winning; it was about the camaraderie, the routine, and the lighthearted moments that came with it. She found joy in sharing laughs, stories, and time with the people she cared about most.

Family was at the heart of everything Judith did. She is survived by her husband of fifty-one years, Joseph Ranfos; her loving daughter, Stacey Ranfos of Hooksett; and two cherished grandchildren, Trent Pazderka of Bow and Lukas Pazderka of Manchester. She also leaves behind five beloved sisters, Jeannie, Joni, Ruth, Margaret, and Linda; as well as many nieces, nephews, and dear friends. Judith was predeceased by her twin sister, Mary Frances Herod in 2018.
