Beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Judith A. Kish went home to God on May 15, 2024. Daughter of the late William and Beatrice (Pullen) Riehl, she is survived by her loving husband of 55 years, Louis S. Kish Jr. Judy is also survived by her daughter, Beth Lopatine and her husband Mike and her son Louis S. Kish, III and his wife Dawn. She is also survived by her seven grandchildren: Nikki Radice and her fiancé Tyler Fisher, Amanda Radice, Mark Radice, Jr., Zach Radice, Tori Kish, Maddie Kish, and Mason Kish. Judy is also survived by her sister Sandy Foy and her husband Phil and her sister-in-law Lee Ann Kish. She also leaves behind her nieces Christina (Tim) Moyer, Melissa Foy, Alex Foy and fiancé Tom Moffat, and her nephew, Phil (Andrea) Foy. She also leaves behind several great nieces and nephews and cousins.
Judy retired after 35 years working at St. Francis Medical Center and then St. Mary’s Medical Center. Judy enjoyed spending time with her family, especially when everyone was able to gather together. One of her favorite things was going to her Pocono house with her husband and going to Bingo. She met many good friends in the Poconos. Judy loved watching the Philadelphia Phillies and her favorite player, Alec Bohm. She loved cooking and her Christmas cookies were a treat every Christmas. She enjoyed watching old classic movies, word searches and her recent love of playing games on her iPad. Judy and Lou took their children and grandchildren on many trips from Maine to Florida to the Grand Canyon and everywhere in between. There were numerous picnic lunches around NJ and Pennsylvania, which brought so much fun and family time. Her toughness and forever willingness to help anyone was always apparent. She always said, “stop worrying about things that may never happen” and if something bad happens “you can deal with it then.” She will be truly missed but never forgotten.
