Judith Lee Rosenblith
October 9, 1949 ~ February 12, 2023
Marietta Southern Cremations & Funerals
On the evening of Sunday February 12, 2023, after a long battle with illness, Judith Lee Rosenblith of Kennesaw, GA quietly drew her last breath at the age of 73.
Judy was born in Hackensack NJ in 1949 to Harold and Muriel Baker. Early in her life, the family began migrating south and eventually settled in Atlanta in 1964. Judy graduated from North Springs Highschool in 1967 and went on to attend the University of Georgia and later the University of Colorado at Boulder and UCLA. Judy was preceded in death by her parents and is survived by her husband of 41 years, Jonathan, her two children Chris and Teresa, her grandson Paige, her two brothers, Steve and John, and extended family.
Having majored in Medieval history, Judy was an avid history buff and an amateur genealogist. She was very proud to have traced her family lineage to the Revolutionary War, the Mayflower and beyond, thus earning membership into the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Mayflower Society.
Judy was known for her love of history, books, and Trivial Pursuits of which she never lost a game. Among her children’s fondest memories were the hours spent snuggled at her side listening to her bring great works of literature to life with mesmerizing character voices.
Judy and her husband Jon both loved travel and took many memorable trips together. Among his fondest memories was their wedding in 1982. It was a bridge building event that brought a proud Jewish family and a proud Protestant family together in love and kinship.
Judy was a kind and loving soul with a childlike curiosity about the world. Though she died much too soon, she will be dearly missed and never forgotten by those who knew and loved her.
A public memorial service will be held in her honor at 2:00PM on Friday February 24, 2023, at Southern Cremations & Funerals 1861 Dallas Hwy in Marietta, GA 30064. Flowers for the family and service may be sent to the funeral home.

I remember working together at Xomed. Our jobs were different but we had overlap with the engineers. Judy was always such a pleasure to work with.
We went in different directions with our families but always kept in touch.
What a wonderful time we had when Judy and Jon came to Fl to visit. We dined together and had a special time remembering things we used to do
Judy always had a beautiful spirit and I will miss that so much. She was always ready to listen. There will only ever be one Judy Rosenblith, she was a very special person.
Miss you my friend…

We will always cherish our happy memories with you, Aunt Judy. You will always be remembered and loved. Love, Leigh and Suzanne
I remember Leanna and I going to visit you when you lived in Lake Tahoe with you when your kids were little, they were so small they would each sit on one of my feet! Those are some of my fondest memories. We used to go there fairly frequently and I always enjoy our time there. I’m glad we got to stay in touch all these years, you have been one of my few true friends.
Your friend,
Ric Liudahl
I had the honor of caring for Judy for the past year and 4 months but it seemed like I knew her forever. She shared some of her precious memories with me and I found that her and I had much in common. Judy was a loving and caring person and although she battled with her illness that sweet spirit of hers often shined through. Judy became my good friend and I will always cherish the memories I have of her . Judy loved her family dearly and how could she not they are an amazing bunch of people . To Judy’s husband Jon, her children Teresa and Cris , brothers John and Steve, I thank you for allowing me to be apart of the family and for giving me the opportunity to care for Judy the best way I knew how to. I love you all always 💙. Rest Peacefully my Judy Patudi 🕊️ Love Latoya
I first met Judy in the L.I.F.E. Courses and we became close friends as we worked on our personal growth together. In L.I.F.E. Intensive, we were in the same buddy group and she became my closest buddy. We shared our deepest secrets, laughed at our own weaknesses and praised each other for our strengths. She was very insightful and I always valued her feedback. We have stayed in touch since 1984, seeing each other and chatting as often as our busy lives would allow. She helped me change my life for the better and become that beautiful, trusting , honest and genuine woman that I always dreamed of being. She will always be with me and we shall continue our chats. Love you, buddy!

Judy, you will be missed.
Judy and I met in September of 1964, at the beginning of 10th grade. We bonded instantly, and she was my best friend for 58 years. After I moved away from Atlanta, she wrote intricately detailed letters—page after page covered front and back in her tiny, meticulous script.She had a brilliant, inquisitive mind and over the years we enjoyed many hours-long conversations covering every imaginable topic. We never ran out of things to talk about.
When Chris and Teresa were little, Ric and I often drove up from the Bay Area to Lake Tahoe for wonderful weekend visits. And later, when Jon and Judy lived Denver, they would drive up to spend weekends with us in the mountains outside of Boulder. During the times that we didn’t live in the same state, we visited each other as often as we could, and it was always a joy to see her again.
No one could ask for a better friend, and she was one of the most important people in my life. I’m grateful for all the love and the years of treasured memories, and I will hold her in my prayers and in my heart always.
Thank you for being a great big sister. We love you.
Judy always greeted me with a smile and open arms exemplifying her kind heart and gracious hospitality. Even when I called to speak to my lifelong friend Jon I could literally “hear” her smile over the phone. For over 40 years she was a loving and loyal spouse to my good friend and she will be sorely missed.
Judy will be missed by all of us, especially you who have been a daily part of her life. May God bless and comfort you.
I want to share something about my mom, but I know if I try to say this at the Memorial Service I won’t be able to get through it without breaking down.
The greatest thing about my mom is that she was loving, kind and affectionate. The most important thing she taught me is how to love. I learned to love because she first loved me. Her gift of love has never stopped blessing me.
I love you Mommy! I miss you so much and I can’t wait to see you again in heaven.
Judy was the “Love of my Life”, and my wife for 41 years. There was no one on Earth who I loved more. She enriched my life in many ways.
She was a caring and supportive wife, a wonderful mother to our two children, a doting grandmother to our grandson, and a loving member of both our families who kept in touch with everyone.
She was a scholar who know a great deal about medieval European history and genealogy. She had extensive knowledge of literature, geography, film, and art. All subjects that I had little interest in until I married her.
Judy was a true partner who made many sacrifices for our marriage. Among them was packing up our house and possessions to move to 9 different cities as I followed promotions and knowledge in my career.
I shall miss Judy every day for the rest of my life until we are reunited in Heaven.
Rest in Peace my Love
