Judith G. Desrochers

(nee Gagnon) On February 8, 2018 of Washington Twp. Age 75. Beloved wife of the late Roland E. Devoted mother of David Desrochers (Cindy), Lisa Hager, Lynne, Brian and Christine Desrochers. Loving grandmother of Elizabeth (Joe), Matthew (Megan), Andrew, Christopher, Lindsay and Katherine. Dear sister of Aline Grimard (Albert), Gerard Gagnon (Claudette) and the late Paul, Richard and Donald Gagnon. Dear sister-in-law of Roger (Juliette), Norman (Barbara), Richard (Earlene), and the late Raynal Desrochers. Also survived by Gloria Desrochers, Margaret and Grace Gagnon. Cherished daughter of the late Andre and Armande Gagnon.

Judy was born and raised in Lowell, MA where she met Roland Desrochers at St. Jeanne D’Arc school. They married in 1964 and moved to Asheville, NC, where they began many longtime friendships. Judy later lived in Turnersville, NJ for almost 50 years. She worked for 12 years as a legislative assistant to State Senator John Matheussen. In retirement, she enjoyed international travel with friends and hosted family beach vacations as a cherished tradition. Judy was an active volunteer in many organizations and charitable efforts, including Serv-A-Tray, Pro Life Chair at Holy Family, religious education, and collection and distribution of goods for the less fortunate. Judy was well known for her crafts, baking, cake decorating, and cooking. She was a prolific reader and also a dedicated correspondent, sending countless letters, news clippings, or gifts to her friends and large extended family over the years. She adored her 6 grandchildren (and family pets) and shared their diverse interests. Judy enjoyed playing board games, solving crossword puzzles, her bridge club, and playing bingo. She was generous and thoughtful and made a lifelong commitment to putting others ahead of herself.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend her viewing Thursday 6:00-9:00 PM at the Church of the Holy Family, 226 Hurffville Rd., Washington Twp. Mass of Christian Burial Friday 10:00 AM.

The loss you are feeling seems unbearable and there will be times when you go to call your mom or stop by the house and it hits you again like a ton of bricks that she is not there. Although she is no longer physically present she is everywhere - in your heart, your thoughts, the many photos and memories that you and the family share. She is now in the presence of her Lord. Lean on Him for strength and comfort in your time of sorrow and He will lead you through this difficult time. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble - Psalm 46:1

My sincere appreciation for knowing Judy. Her beautiful heart has deeply touched my soul. I will never forget her concern for her family, her church, the poor, marginalized and tramaticized from Haiti to Harvey and beyond. She has left each of us with a gospel legacy of unconditional love. Blessings to all who have been privileged to walk the journey with dear Judy.

Judy was a great friend to 1st Way/Life Center in Woodbury. Each year she coordinated the Pro-Life Baby Shower at her Parish. Through her tireless efforts she was able to help many mothers and their babies. She was a wonderful pro-life friend and we all will miss her smiling face as she delivered her van loaded with baby items. God Bless the Desrocher family. Remember, today she is with Him in Paradise. The Volunteer and Staff at 1st Way/Life Center
