Dec 22, 1946 – Jan 2, 2025
Viglione, Judith Ann, 78, of Ballwin, Missouri, peacefully fell asleep in Jesus at home while surrounded by her family on January 2, 2025, following a brief battle with ALS. Born on December 22, 1946, to Sitky and Helen Tarzy of Union City, NJ, Judy graduated from Douglass College (now Rutgers University) and pursued a career as an analytical chemist before dedicating her life to her family and community.
Judy will be remembered for her unwavering support of her family, her deep faith in Christ, and her commitment to various community organizations. She was a devoted wife and mother, offering regular affirmation and a wry sense of humor to her sons. Always quick to lend a helping hand at school or with her sons’ activities, Judy provided constant care to her eldest son during his battle with cancer, doing so with great selflessness and without complaint. As a wife, Judy managed the home and supported her husband, Stan, through multiple relocations in his career. She was well-regarded for her dependability and cheerful nature, forming lasting friendships within her community. Judy was an active volunteer with the St. Louis Area Boy Scouts Council, the Assistance League of St. Louis, and the Church of the Resurrection.
Judy is survived by her loving husband of 54 years, Stanley; her son Jonathan (Catherine) Viglione; and her grandchildren Kate and Lily Viglione, Zach (Marina) Rogers, and Amanda and Jacob Becker. She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Nancy Dixon, and her son Matthew. Her legacy of love, faith, and service will be cherished by all who knew her.

Judy and met when our boys were in second grade. It was like an instant friendship. We did cub scouts together for three years. So fun. She will be missed

Stan is my oldest cousin, a man I've always looked up to and relied upon. When my boys and I were driving back and forth between New Jersey and my home in New Mexico, they took us in time after time, welcoming us with dinners and visits to the museums, and sending us on our way with gifts and snacks for the road. Looking back, I can count at least 8 times from 1993 to 2015 that they hosted us. Judy embraced my sons like they were her own. She was a great lady and I will miss her. George...
