Judith Gail Lucente peacefully passed away at her home in Lansdale, PA on Monday August 1, 2023. She was predeceased by her loving husband of 40 years, Rudolph Lucente.

Judith was an only child born in Abington Pennsylvania on March 4, 1940. She was of Pennsylvania Dutch descent and the daughter of Henry and Naomi Oberholtzer. After graduation from Haddonfield High School, she was a print model and worked at Bell Telephone. Judith shined most in her roles as Wife, Mother, Mom Mom, and Great Mom. She embraced each day of her 83 years with trademark energy and class, working tirelessly to maintain a loving home. She supported her husband in the growth of their US Naval contracting firm AMPAC and took immense pride in keeping abreast of the company’s operations alongside both her husband and stepson Rudy Lucente Jr.

Judith was a keen observer of life, often remembering the specific details and actions of those around her. This skill made for unique relationships with family members and friends. She was often found baking her trademark “Redsie” Cake or Ricotta cookies – always at the ready with a sweet treat. She loved a good “Words with Friends” game, following the British royal family, and “playing in the dirt” (gardening). She was an active Brittany Pointe community member where she enjoyed Bocce, exercise classes, and walking the property. While Judith enjoyed health for most of her life, she admirably and gracefully navigated recent hardships. She was a pillar of strength and determination, refusing to let disease define her existence. She carried on and lived her life with purpose and without complaint.

She was happiest at her home in Wildwood Crest, NJ where she watched butterflies around the flower beds of the front porch and made memories with her beloved family. She will be remembered by her sister-in-law Geraldine Franchi and her five children: Rudy Lucente (Clare), Gloria Cascarino (Pat), Jennifer Raquet (Mark), Diana Vit (Paul), and Sondra Goettelmann (Gunnar). Her pride and joys as Mom Mom included 11 grandchildren: Matthew Cascarino (Jillian), Mark Lucente (Shannon), Lisa Coia (Christopher), Nicole Cascarino, Dr. Erin Downey (Steve), Brandon and Lauren Raquet, Jillian and Julia Vit, and Cooper and Myles Goettelmann. Judith was also Great Mom to eight great-grandchildren: Sydney Lucente, Madeline Coia, Avery, Jordon, and Logan Cascarino, Wylie Cascarino, and Sienna and Julia Montesano.
