Judith Rodriguez, born Judith Rachel Ossakow, began lighting up people’s lives on May 6th, 1951. She has continued to be a light through life’s constant curveballs, handling them with grit and grace. She is survived lovingly by her two daughters, Annie and Sarah, her husband of 40 years Pedro, and her favorite sister, Leyeta. She will continue to live on through her lessons on life, the songs she sang, and the innumerable amount of people who felt her love. In lieu of flowers, donations to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and the Arthritis National Research Foundation would be appreciated.

A memorial gathering will be held on Saturday, June 19, 2021 from 1-4 pm at Riverdale-on-Hudson Funeral Home, 6110 Riverdale Avenue, Bronx NY. Committal was private.
