Judithann Post

Judithann Post, beloved mother of Dawn Post Trombetta, Frederick (Robin) Post, and the late David Post, beloved grandmother of Ashley (Cory) Nelson and David Post Jr., great-grandmother of Lilliana, Salvatore and Santino, sister of the late Bonnie Collins, adored aunt to Christopher Collins. She was preceded in death by her former husband, Frederick Post III.

Mom loved life, she was a strong, resilient and fiercely independent lady, tough on the outside, kind and big hearted and generous on the inside, with a big heart for underprivileged people and animals. She cared for family and friends in need and continually volunteered and donated to organizations for causes she was passionate about.

She loved cats, and they were her forever companions. She always had a menagerie she was caring for indoors and outdoors, even paying vet bills for strays.

Mom had a great sense of humor, always joking, even to lighten a serious moment. She loved to dance, whether in the living room to Bandstand or oldies on DVD (and making her kids dance with her), or going out dancing with friends. 

She was up for anything, always ready for fun. 

She loved travel, and learning, especially when it came to anything history or travel-related (she loved National Geographic and the History Channel), She could talk about most topics as if she had an encyclopedia in her head.

She was known for her quick wit and offbeat quips. When asked how she was doing, she’d jokingly say  “I have a hitch in my giddyup today!” Or to a pet store cashier asking if she wanted a receipt, she quipped: “Of course, I show them to my cats.”  

In the early days, mom loved traveling with her family and friends, and was a Girl Scout leader.

She was also proud of her work life and accomplishments. She earned an Associates Degree and was a regional credit manager for Magnavox (later Phillips Magnavox) for her entire career. During this time she was president of the local American Business Women’s Association which raised money for local charities.

She frequented flea markets and loved collecting antiques, antique glass, and art. 

She talked often about how much she enjoyed a Grand Canyon trip she took her two grandkids on, and all their adventures.

Her stories, her energy, her strength, her living unabashedly, her joy, and light will be deeply missed.

The family will hold a private memorial at a later date.
