Judith Constantino Obituary

Judith Mary Rush Constantino, aged 87, passed away on January 26, 2025, in Sandy, Utah. Born July 4, 1937, Judy dedicated her life to her family, faith, and service to others.

Judy grew up in Pocatello, ID, ultimately graduating as a Physician from Loma Linda Medical School. Her career began in Los Angeles county schools and then the public Health Department of Southern California. She met her husband, Michael, started a family, and had long daily commutes. Seeking a simpler life, Judy and her family moved to Idaho to join her father in running the family business. Despite the move, Judy continued traveling vast distances to provide care in small rural health facilities near Pocatello. She eventually settled at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratories as an onsite physician.

Judy was known for her incredible memory, veracity for knowledge and boundless generosity. Her adventurous spirit took her from viewing classic cars to traveling as far as Alaska and Greece with her beloved husband. At home, she was seldom found sitting still, preferring to listen to audiobooks while completing word or jigsaw puzzles. She is survived by her sons, Greg (Tawnya), Alex (Mary), and daughter, Lisa (Matt), and numerous grandchildren who will miss her deeply. Judy was preceded in death by her husband, Michael Constantino and her brother, Robert Rush.

Memorial Services will be held at the Wasatch Hills SDA Church, 2139 S. Foothill Dr., Salt Lake City, UT, on March 1, 2025. A lunch will be served at 1:00 pm, followed by the service at 2:00 pm. Judy's life was a testament to her faith, the love for her family, and her commitment to the well-being of others. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of those she touched.

Judy was my aunt and was one of, if not the most, incredible person I have ever known. She was brilliant, kind, loving, devoted, determined and rational to the end. During medical school her advisor told her to go home and be a housewife. I think she was one of 3 female students in her medical school class. She seemed to have non of the foibles most of us possess (at least not that I could see). I will miss her dearly.
