With heavy hearts we announce that Judith Andrews, 76, passed away peacefully on February 5, 2026, at the Derry Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Derry, New Hampshire after battling health issues for the past few years. Born on November 13, 1949, in Central Falls, Rhode Island, she was the cherished daughter of the late Chester "Chet" Andrews and Ellen Theresa Andrews (Tognetti).

Judy spent her formative years in Rhode Island and graduated from William E. Tolman High School in Pawtucket. Her professional journey began at Draper Corporation in Hopedale, Massachusetts, where she worked as an administrative assistant in the Facilities Planning Division. In 1976, Judy relocated to New Hampshire, where she cultivated a fulfilling life and career.

Throughout her career, Judy held various roles that showcased her dedication and organizational skills. She served as an administrative aide at Lang Street Elementary School in Meredith and later as an administrative assistant at Irwin Marine in Laconia. She also worked as a sales associate at This End Up Furniture Store in Concord. Most notably, Judy dedicated over two decades of service as an administrative assistant with the State of New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission in Concord where her contributions were not only invaluable, but also greatly appreciated by her colleagues.

Judy was deeply involved in her community and served as a longtime fundraising coordinator for the Inter-Lakes School District's Campbell Soup Label Drive in Meredith. Her efforts exemplified her genuine dedication to support local education initiatives.

In her leisure time, Judy enjoyed traveling to warm climates, bowling, and was an avid fan of the New England Patriots, Boston Celtics, and Boston Red Sox. She found immense joy in her visits to Cape Cod and Lake Winnipesaukee and was happiest surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the water, particularly when sharing those moments with her son.

A devoted Catholic, Judy lived her life grounded in faith. Her free spirit, determination and quick wit will be missed by all who knew her.

Judy is survived by her son Michael Kuzdeba and his wife Janinne Kuzdeba; her grandchildren James Kuzdeba, Thomas Kuzdeba, and Claire Kuzdeba; her siblings Gregory Andrews, Joan Andrews Simeone, Daniel Andrews, Christine Andrews Fram, and Thomas Andrews; as well as many extended family members and friends. She was predeceased by her parents and her sister Susan "Susie" Andrews.

The family will receive visitors on April 24, 2026, 12:00-1:00 PM at the Immaculate Conception Church, 9 Bonney Street in Penacook, New Hampshire with a Memorial Mass to follow immediately. May the love and memories shared bring comfort to all who knew her. Cremation Society of NH, Boscawen office, is assisting the family with arrangements.
