Obituary of Judith E. Varricchione

JUDITH ELIZABETH HALL VARRICCHIONE – LAKEVILLE, MA. Judi Varricchione died peacefully on March 5, 2020 at the Hannah B. G. Shaw Home after a long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. Born April 5, 1951, she was the daughter of Robert and Gertrude (Clabby) Hall of Wakefield, MA. Judi attended schools in Wakefield and graduated from the Shephard-Gill School of Practical Nursing in Boston, MA. Judi’s restless nature, native intelligence and ample skills took her through several careers – as a nurse (New England Baptist Hospital, Boston University Clinic, Jordan Hospital), as a real estate broker ( Fagerberg and Debbie Blais Real Estate firms), as Director of the Middleboro Area Chamber of Commerce and as a home decorating business owner (Decorating Den). She was instrumental in obtaining a revitalization grant for downtown Middleboro and helped secure Ocean Spray’s corporate headquarters in Lakeville. Judi’s passions were playing piano, cooking, entertaining and gardening as a certified Master Gardener. She is survived by her husband, Thomas (Plymouth, MA) and her sons Damon (Raynham) and Justin (Lakeville) and his wife Jennifer (Barrett) and Judi’s grandchildren Maxwell and Anabelle. Judi is also survived by a sister Kaye Horrigan (Saco, ME) and close nieces Melissa Croteau (North Kingstown, RI), Melanie Montembeau (Kennebunk, ME) and Beth Watson (Barrington, NH) and nephews Kevin (Wakefield), Derek (Atlanta, GA) and Darren (Westford, MA). A remembrance of Judi’s life will be scheduled for later and final interment will be private. Donations to a charity aimed at curing diseases of dementia are suggested.
