Judith Guentner Obituary

Judith "Judy" Guentner, 85, of Kittanning, formerly of Pittsburgh, died Wednesday, March 12, 2025. Born June 28, 1939, in Pittsburgh, PA. Beloved wife of the late Samuel E. Guentner. Loving mother of Valerie (Robert) Guentner-Smith and the late Joseph M. Guentner. Devoted grandmother of Samuel (Marlie) Guentner and the late Michael J. Czachowski. Proud great-grandmother of Samuel J. II and Alaia J. Guentner. Daughter of the late Kenneth and Joann Smith. She mourned the loss of her pets Casey and Mocha. Judy's passion for nature was evident in her work with Plantscape Inc. and Plant Lady Inc. A dedicated Steelers fan, Judy's enthusiasm for her team was as vibrant as the flowers she so tenderly cared for. Her spirit and joy were uplifted when she was in the company of her great-grandchildren. Visitation from Noon until time of service at 4 p.m., Sunday, March 16, 2025, at the THOMAS M. SMITH FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORY LTD., 930 Center Ave., Blawnox, PA 15238.
