She earned her Occupational Therapy degree from VCU, forming lifelong friendships and beginning a career devoted to helping others.
Judy met the love of her life, Paul Thomas, in Norfolk, Virginia, and together they built a warm and joyful life in Florida with their son, Jason. She worked as an OT in psychiatry and later in rehab, touching countless lives with her compassion and dedication.
A longtime member of St. Timothy Lutheran Church in Tarpon Springs, Judy was known for her generous spirit, deep faith, and the love she shared freely with everyone around her.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Paul; her sister, Deborah Leder; and her brother, David Christian. She is survived by her son, Jason Clark Thomas; daughter‑in‑law, Nicole Falcone Thomas; and her beloved grandchildren, Nicholas Giuseppe and Giana Isabella.
Judy loved big, gave wholeheartedly, and leaves behind a legacy of kindness that will be remembered always.

I hope you find comfort in the beautiful memories you and Nicole shared with her and in knowing how deeply she was loved. I’m praying for your family during this difficult time, and I’m here for you in whatever way you need.

Although I never got to meet you, Jason and your family, I feel I already know you because you were the light of her life. I met your mom when we were both a little nervous about being away from home for the first time and several miles from there to Richmond. From there we understood what it meant to be on your own and in college. We learned a lot from each other as we became OT’s. Those are things which no one can change. I know that you will miss her greatly and I pray that you and your family will have fond memories of her. She was truly a special person and she blessed you with her love. Peace be with you as it is with Judy now.
