Judith Scigowski, age 83, of Lake Ariel, PA passed away peacefully at home on November 29, 2022 with her beloved children Stanley Jr. and Judy at her side.  To have known Judith was to love her. She was a very special person filled with an abundance of love for her family and friends. Her caring and supportive ways were only matched with her fun-loving spirit, her strength and her enduring kindness.

Judith was born on June 13, 1939 and grew up in New York. She was married to her husband Stanley for 45 years until his passing in 2009.  In Rosedale, NY they raised their children and their granddaughter Jennifer following the heartbreaking passing of Judith’s oldest daughter Mary Ellen.  They later moved to North Massapequa, NY to be closer to their children as they were married and to welcome their grandchildren.  In 2008, Judith retired to her beloved home in The Hideout in Lake Ariel, PA.

Judith’s primary occupation for 35 years was a school bus driver in Queens, NY. In retirement, Judith did many hours of volunteer work at a local food pantry and other charitable organizations in the Lake Ariel area.  Judith loved to travel throughout her life, visiting many different places both domestically and abroad. One of her favorite ways to travel was cruising and she celebrated her 80^th birthday with a big trip to the Panama Canal. Judith always felt that life should be lived to the fullest. With both of her parents being deceased before age 40, Judith felt blessed to live into her senior years and see her grandchildren grow up. The best part of her life was spending time with her family and friends. Most especially, Judith enjoyed watching her two youngest granddaughters Allison and Kaitlyn grow up on a daily basis just down the block from her home and spending time with them each day.

Judith will be forever missed by her devoted children Stanley Jr. and Judy and by her daughter-in-law Louisa and her son-in-law Michael. She will live on in the hearts of her grandchildren Jennifer, Steven, Thomas, Allison and Kaitlyn, protecting them along life’s journey. In her final days, Judith remarked how she wanted to be around to see how each grandchild’s life turned out. With her passing, they will surely have their grandmother as an angel by their side. Judith will also be deeply missed by her enduring and dear friend Bob Barton and all of her many dear friends.

Judith is predeceased by her daughter Mary Ellen Gerakaris and her husband Stanley Scigowski.
