Judith W. "Judy" Elie

Elie, Judith W. "Judy"
TROY - Judith passed to the arms of the Lord today, Friday, July 25, 2025.
Judith was born in Troy, N.Y., on December 27, 1948, to William and Charlotte Sebast Wink.
She graduated from Lansingburgh High School and St. Lawrence University with her Bachelor's Degree in Sociology. While at St. Lawrence, she met the love of her life, John E. Elie, who as a matter of fact asked her to marry him on their first date! It took some time, and Judy finally said yes! They were married June 19, 1971, with the approval of William H. and Charlotte S. Wink. As a highlight to their lives together they had two wonderful sons, Peter William (wife, Renee), and Steven Edmund Elie.
Judy worked as a Teacher's Aide for Questar III in the Capital Area, and last in East Greenbush.
She had served as a Cub Scouts Den Mother, established the Rensselaer Park Elementary School PTA Reading Program, played Field Hockey while in high school, loved going out to lunch, gardening, canning, baking but above all else, her family. She was a member and worshipped at Cornerstone Community Church in Lansingburgh.
Judy was predeceased in 2024 by her husband, John, of 52 years, and is survived by her sons, Peter (Renee) and Steven; grandchildren, Lucas Brogue (Cassidy Danforth) and Logan Brogue (fiancé, Kiera Simpson); sister, Kathleen (late, Elia) Coppola; her nieces, Alessandra (Anthony) Petruccelli; grand nieces and nephew, Alexa and nephew Anthony, and Cynthia Coppola; her nephew and Godson, Francesco (Kelly) Coppola; and "GRAND" nieces and nephews: Kala, Nicholas, Cole and Juliet Coppola.
