She loved knitting, walking, reading and visiting the sick as a deacon for her church. She volunteered for hospice and at the Rutland Hospital where she was a courier for 11 years. Her faith in God helped her throughout her life, and her church was very important to her.

One sister, Joan Menard of Randolph, and two brothers Tim Murphy and wife, Lorraine, of Cottonwood, AZ, and John Murphy and wife, Marjorie, of Sandy, Utah, also survive her.
She is predeceased by her parents, one sister, one brother and a grandchild, Shawn.
There will be no calling hours.
Funeral services will be held Friday, June 17, 2016, at 10:30 a.m. at the Pittsford Congregational Church in Pittsford, followed by a reception at the church Fellowship Hall.

to Judi's family, Judi was a very special lady who taught me so much about steadfast faith. She was a true friend and a very loving, 'grace-filled', wise and delightful woman. I am saddened that she no longer is with us but I rejoice that she is beyond human suffering. Once again, she is completely the person God created her to be. Thanks for your friendship, Judi. Love to all, Ruth Anne

I moved out of Vermont a number of years ago but will always remember our conversations about my yard as she walked by my house on Route 7. She was one dynamic lady.

To "Miss Judis" family. This wonderful lady meant a great deal to my dad Peter Muscatello and to myself. The friendship they had at the maples was so precious to him. She was a strength and confidant to me while he was hospitalized and after his death. I will miss our talks, hugs and her beautiful smile. Please know you are in my families thoughts. She was a light that will be remembered in my home. With warm regards, Jodi Muscatello-Cushing
