Judith A. Spence

Judith A. Spence, 74, a life-long resident of Middletown, passed away at home on July 23, 2021. She was born in Astoria, NY to the late Huntly and Harriet (Keller) Spence. Judi was employed by Food Circus for 40 years where she could be found striking up a conversation with anyone that passed her way. She discovered her artistic side in designing beautiful floral arrangements and quickly fell in love with her craft. She became a sought-after crafter at local shows and boutiques, and her arrangements have adorned the homes of many. She enjoyed making fall trips to Lancaster, hitting every Christmas Tree Shop on the Cape, and decorating her home for every season.

She is predeceased by her beloved son, Edward Neville. Surviving are her loving family, daughter and friend, Lisa Neville and her partner Rick Petschauer, her daughter in law, Edie Doughty Neville, her grandchildren, Hayley and Hunter Neville, her brother, Bill Spence and his wife Elisa, her dear friends Jim and Gail Long, Earl and Sara Stillwell and her favorite grand-dog, Oliver. The family would like to extend their deepest thanks to the staff of Care One at Wall and the VNA, for their compassionate care and services.

All services are private and under the direction of the John E. Day Funeral Home, Red Bank, NJ 07701.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be sent in Judi’s memory to the VNA Health Group Foundation.

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed, and very dear. Until we meet again…
