Judith McCarty Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Cantelmi Long Funeral Home - Bethlehem on Feb. 9, 2026.
Judith Anne McCarty, lovingly known to family and friends as Judy, passed away peacefully on February 3, 2026, at Bethlehem South Nursing Home, at the age of 77. Born on December 27, 1948, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Judy was the daughter of the late Charles Allen McCarty and Geraldine L. (Wall) McCarty.

Judy will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her quiet strength, and the warmth she shared with those around her. To those who knew her best, she was a steady presence-kind, thoughtful, and deeply caring in her own way. Her life was marked by love for her family and an appreciation for the simple comforts that made each day meaningful.

In addition to her parents, Judy was preceded in death by her beloved sister, Linda Lee McCarty. Though she is no longer with us, Judy's memory lives on in the hearts of those who loved her, and in the many small moments of kindness and connection she shared throughout her life.

Her passing leaves a space that cannot be filled, but her life remains a quiet blessing, remembered with affection, gratitude, and peace.

Services: Services will be private. Judy's services have been entrusted to Cantelmi Long Funeral Home, Bethlehem. A memory tribute may be placed at www.cantelmifuneralhome.com.
