It is with sadness that we announce that Judith "Judy" L. (Halstead) Rundell, 83 passed away on Sunday, July 27, 2025 at her home in Copper Hill. She was born in White Plains, NY October 19, 1941 to E. Ruth (Thatcher) Halstead and Francis Reed Halstead.

Judy was retired from The Highland Falls Marina, on the Hudson river in NY which she co-owned and managed with her husband of 41 years, Thomas "Tom" She also worked at West Point Federal Credit Union for many years. In addition, she spent many years as a volunteer in the Coast Guard Auxiliary.

After retirement in 2007, Judy and Tom relocated to Copper Hill Va where they raised chickens and created a collection of memories that filled their home and spilled over into several other buildings on the 7 acre property including a chicken coop, a "general store', shop and fifties room, Christmas teapot room and a number of other rooms all with their own styles and themes.

She enjoyed traveling with Tom and antiquing and amassed an amazing collection of antiques and other types of memorabilia. (Beatrix Potter, tea pots and Carolers among them). She also loved her two cats and many chickens.

She is survived by her husband, Thomas (Tom) to whom she was married in 1984; as well as her two children, John Macedo III (Virginia) and Andrew Macedo (Julie); and four grandchildren, Amanda Macedo, Eric Macedo, Andrew Macedo, Jr. and Julie (Macedo) Young; and seven great grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her sisters, Nancy (Halstead) Larkin and Prudence "Prue" (Halstead) Merriam.

There will be no services at this time. In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family asks that donations be made to the Floyd County Humane Society, PO Box 862, Floyd, VA 24091.
