Judith "Judi" Louise Harden, 85, passed away peacefully on November 2, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family. Born in Paddington, England, to Louisa and Archibald Downie, Judi's life was one of adventure, faith, and devotion to family.

At just 18, Judi married the love of her life, Floyd Harden, beginning a journey together as a proud U.S. Navy wife. Their adventures took them around the world - from Maryland to Rota, Spain, to California and Washington - before eventually settling in Florida, where she spent her later years in Melbourne.

Judi is survived by her beloved husband, Floyd Harden, and her cherished children: Gina Harden, Tina Young (Randy Young), Kimberly Weinberg, and Keri Crisler (Mark Crisler). She leaves behind her adored grandchildren: Nicole Zundel, Brett Young, Nicolas Weinberg, Alexandria Weinberg, Daniel Weinberg, and Evan Crisler; and great-grandchildren, Ellison and Easton Zundel. She now joins her dear brother Thomas and sister Betty in Heaven.

Judi was a woman of deep faith, strong logic, and endless compassion. She had a gift for listening and offering guidance that was both wise and kind. Her family and friends will remember her as a beacon of positivity-someone who lifted others up and helped them find their path.

She loved music, especially show tunes and the works of Andrew Lloyd Webber, and passed on her love of singing to generations after her. She enjoyed sewing, traveling, reading, playing cards, and tracing family history through her passion for genealogy. She was a strong advocate for the proper treatment and care for animals. Her adventures were many, but her heart always came back to family and faith.

Judi's warmth, humor, and wisdom touched countless lives, and her legacy lives on through those who were blessed to know her. She will be deeply missed, forever remembered and loved.

Judi will be interned in a private family service in Cape Canaveral.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Humane Society in Judi's name.
