Judith Nell Kozarits
Judith Nell Hudson Kozarits fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church on Thursday, December 14, 2017. Beloved wife of the late Fred D. Kozarits; dear mother and mother-in-law of Stephen (Patty) Kozarits, Richard (Kim) Kozarits and Christopher (Tricia) Kozarits; dear daughter of the late Robert and Hazel Hudson and sister of the late Mary Ann(Celestino) Sierra. Judy loved her grandchildren, Katie, Elizabeth (Lance), Chad, Ellen, Kirsten, Kyle, Kurt and was blessed to welcome her great grandchildren, Colby, Finley and Judy. While faith and family were always first, Judy had a deep passion for knowing and traveling the world. Judy was a friend to all and never knew a stranger; she will be missed by those she knew around the world. Home was where her heart was whether that was Ft. Worth, TX, Hinsdale, IL, Cincinnati, OH, Edina, MN, Milwaukee, WI or St. Louis, MO. Her final resting place will be next to Fred at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Hillside, IL. Judy was known for her generosity, her beautiful spirit and continued growing faith. She has left an everlasting mark on the many hearts she touched.
There will be a Memorial Mass on Saturday, December 23, 2017 at 11:30am at St. Clement of Rome Catholic Church in DesPeres, MO.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the American Cancer Society.

Not sure words can even express the feelings I have, now that all our parents have passed. I can remember so many laughs, so many BIG holiday dinners and I remember I loved the sweet and sour cabbage my Aunt Judy always brought.
It is almost like it was yesterday, and it was oh so many years ago.
My cousins, let our memories lift our spirits knowing that they are all looking down on us, they are once again together and are always with us.
My prayers go out to all of you, but I know in my heart, my Aunt Judy is very happy now and at peace.
Love to you all.
Annamarie

Sincerely yours, Fr Edward
