Judith Hobart Obituary
Leverett, MA - Judith "Judy" Hobart, age 88, peacefully passed away on Friday April 5th at the Hospice of the Fisher Home in Amherst where she received kind, compassionate, and loving care during the last months of her battle with cancer.
She joins her husband Gardner M. Hobart who passed away in 2009. Judy is survived by her children Tyler Shearer and his wife Debra of Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, Randy Shearer of Leverett, and Robin Walsh of Sunderland. She leaves five grandchildren, Shay Howey of Putney, VT, Afton Dibrindisi of Florence, Corey Shearer of Raleigh, NC, Josh Bridges of Atlanta, GA, and Hayden Shearer of Tampa, FL, and four great-grandchildren, Kali, Cole, Jace, and Ryker. The family lost another grandson, George Bridges of Ponte Vedra Beach, FL in 2006. Judy also leaves her beloved niece, Dawn Hood Mucha of Peoria, Arizona, and many dear friends.
She retired from the Town of Amherst Collectors Office and spent her retirement enjoying antiquing, dancing, and dining with Gardner. An avid reader, she volunteered at the Leverett Library and was an active member of the Friends of the Leverett Library. She remained active throughout her retirement by volunteering for the Leverett Council of Aging and could be found assisting with Friday luncheons and many other activities. She loved nothing more than spending time with friends bowling, playing canasta, and attending plays and musicals. In her free time, you could find her watching old TV shows, reading and listening to country music.
A memorial service is being planned for July 13, 2024. Donations are appreciated in Judy's name to Hospice of the Fisher Home, 1165 N. Pleasant St Amherst, MA www.fisherhome.org or the Friends of Leverett Library c/o Leverett Library, PO Box 250 Leverett MA 01054.
