Judith Blais

Judith Lottie (Rafuse) Blais, 82, died peacefully Sunday, June 9, 2024 surrounded by her loving family in Nashua, NH. She was born on November 22, 1941 in Melrose, MA. She was the daughter of the late Rex Rafuse and Bella (Lambias) Rafuse.

She was the wife of Paul Blais, who had passed away just five days prior. They were married on April 2, 1965 in Nashua, NH. They recently celebrated their “60th” anniversary with family and friends.

She completed her education by receiving her GED with the Adult Learning Center in Nashua. She held many jobs which include stay-at-home mom and nursing assistant. In her retirement years, she was employed by Branch Brook Campground, where she spent her summers with her husband and family.

Judy enjoyed sewing and knitting. She was also an avid card player in addition always being up for a good NCIS or Law & Order marathon, but above all, she enjoyed spending time with her family.
