Judith Diaz, age 63, of Mount Holly, NJ, passed away peacefully on Monday, March 16, 2026.

Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, to Miguel Torres and Ileana Lugo, Judith was raised in Peñuelas, P.R., and made Mount Holly her home beginning in 2008. She was the beloved wife of Luis A. Diaz; the loving mother of Yashira Paulino, Diana M. Forti, Alejandro Diaz, and Angel L. Diaz; the dear sister of Felix Torres, Raul Lugo, and Ileana Alfonso; and the devoted grandmother of Marcos Paulino, Adriana R. Diaz, and Isabella J. Diaz.

Judith lived a life defined by kindness, faith, and unwavering dedication to her family and friends. She found true joy in teaching children at F. W. Holbein Middle School in Mount Holly, where she retired in 2025 after years of shaping young minds with patience and love. Her life was a reflection of her deep faith in Jesus Christ, which she expressed through acts of compassion, service to others, and sharing the word of God.

She cherished every moment spent at family gatherings, where her warm presence, delicious meals, and joyful laughter brought everyone together. Her home was a place of comfort and connection, filled with love, generosity, and the spirit of togetherness. Judith's gentle heart touched all who knew her, and her memory will forever remain a blessing.

Family and friends are invited to attend Judith's visitation on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, from 9:30 – 11:30 A.M., followed by the funeral service at Mount Laurel Home for Funerals. Burial will take place at 1:00 P.M. at Lakeview Memorial Park.
