Judy was born January 30, 1950 in Los Angeles, California to Arlene (Elliott) and Joseph Gazzo.
She is survived by her siblings: Armand Gazzo (Lynn Lathrum), Katherine (Bob) Lasenk, Joey (Shelly) Gazzo, and Freddy Gazzo (Vicente Diaz) and her Mainstream Family.
Judy had a special bond with her brother-in-law Vicente and loved when he would come and visit her.
Judy enjoyed watching Horror movies, anything Law and Order, eating anything chocolate, spending time outside and people watching wherever she went. She had a smile that would light up a room and a giggle that was contagious.
She resided at Woodward State Hospital until moving to Mainstream Living Inc in 1992.
She is preceded in death by her parents Joe and Arlene Gazzo and her best friend Becky Crandall.
