Judy Howard 73, a lifelong resident of Geneva, Ohio, passed away September 21, 2020 under hospice care and in the comfort of her dearest friend's home, as she wished. She was recently diagnosed with an aggressive illness, and her journey here on earth ended too soon.
Judy was born in Geneva, Ohio on March 14, 1947 to her parents, Paul and Francis Howard. She was a Geneva High School graduate and held a variety of rewarding jobs during her lifetime. Judy was a loving, devoted aunt to her nieces, nephews, many cousins, and a very loyal friend to many. She lived life to her fullest through simple pleasures — chatting with friends and family, spending time with her nephews and nieces and many friends, and going on adventures to Middlefield. Her daily routine consisted of taking a drive around town. Judy's animals were her children. She devoted her time to her dogs and loved to take them to the Harpersfield dam. Many Geneva residents knew Judy as the sweet lady driving her dog Andrew around in her Honda. They went everywhere together.
Judy is also known for sending the most thoughtful personalized greeting cards and never missing a birthday. She even took phone calls to another level — always there for you. And she could make a friend in the checkout line with her friendly, warm ways. She will be missed by so many.
Judy is survived by her brother, Robert (Paulette) Howard of San Antonio, FL., and Judy’s nieces and nephews, and many cousins. She is preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Frances Howard, and her brother, Peter Howard.
There will be no service per Judy’s request. In Lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Ashtabula County Animal Protective League and/or Hospice of the Western Reserve.
