Judith C. Reis

JUDITH (CORREIRA) REIS, age 86, passed away peacefully on March 2nd, 2026, after a brief
illness related to long-term pulmonary disease. She was born in Fall River, third of five children
to the late Joseph and Georgina (Paschoal) Correira, and had been happily married for 40 years
to her late husband, Americo "Mac" Reis.

Judy was educated in local schools where she loved to learn and then graduated from St. Anne's
Nursing School. As a registered nurse, she worked at St. Anne's Hospital and, for many years, as
the office nurse of then Chief of Surgery, Dr. Joseph J. Shea, where she compassionately cared
for her patients until her retirement.

Judy loved traveling to many countries sharing beautiful memories with Mac and their dear
friends. She was a passionate reader who loved to devour books, particularly psychological
thrillers, and relished the challenge of crossword puzzles and Sudoku. She thoroughly enjoyed
playing mahjong and card games, especially bridge, cribbage and hi-low-jack. She never missed
an episode of Jeopardy!

She and Mac were avid golfers at their home course, Estero Country Club, at The Vines in
Estero, Florida, where she resided with Mac from 1999 until she moved back home in November
2025. Her favorite pastime was relaxing at the beach. She demonstrated daily the essence of
unconditional love to her beloved family members and friends.

Left to cherish Judy's memory are her devoted daughter Pamela Morgan (William), stepchildren
Christine Melo (Manuel) and Randall Reis (Christine), grandchildren Taylor England, Sienna
Morgan, Mackenzie and Kiersten Reis, sister Patricia Correira, and several nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her siblings Alice Amaral, Joyce Correira and Joseph F. Correira. She
will always be remembered as a fun-loving and generous friend, especially to her extended
family at The Vines, and other dear and lifelong friends.

Cremation is under the direction of Silva-Faria Funeral Home in Fall River.
