Obituary

Listen to Obituary

Kenneth Douglas Judy Sr., age 85, passed away on July 5, 2026. He was born on June 10, 1941, in East Rainelle, West Virginia, to his parents, Lucille and Arden. Ken moved to Cleveland at the age of 13, which would become his home for the rest of his life.

Kenneth was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Vincenza Judy, to whom he was married for 55 years; his parents, Lucille and Arden; and his sisters, Kay Hasslet and Nancy White. In her final years, as Vincenza battled Alzheimer's disease, Ken was by her side as an incredible and devoted caregiver, a testament to the depth of their love.

He was a devoted father to his son, Ken Judy Jr., and father-in-law to Kitty Judy.

He was a cherished brother to his sister, Dee Gall.

Kenneth dedicated 35 years of his career to East Ohio Gas Company before retiring.

Kenneth was a proud grandfather to Elliot Judy (Rahma), William Judy (Samantha), and Mary Kate Goduti (Jake). He was also a loving great-grandfather to Eleanor (Will and Samantha).

Known as a fun-loving and devoted uncle to many, Kenneth cherished time spent playing cards and sharing jokes with his family, always bringing laughter and warmth to every gathering.

In the last few months of his life, Ken often spoke of his youngest sister, Dee Gall, and her partner, Denny Richnasky, along with his sister-in-law, Claudia Marini, calling them his "angels on earth." He was deeply thankful for their love and friendship throughout his life.

He will be deeply missed by his family and all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
