Red Bank resident Judy Northridge passed away on April 4. She was 86.
“Judy will long be remembered for her class, kindness, grace, sense of humor and her wonderful laugh. She loved to travel and appreciated other cultures and religions. Judy was the heart and soul of every gathering whose warmth pulled others closer like a cozy fire on cool lake night. Her love for the lake and her cherished lake house defined much of her life. It was there that she hosted the annual July Northridge family reunion, a tradition that wove the Northridge clan together year after year.

She was a devoted Army military wife who made the life of relocating seamless and a adventure for all. Over the years Judy proudly accompanied her husband Jack and family to military assignments in Virginia, Alabama, Kansas, Maryland, California, and Bangkok, Thailand. She was the ideal military wife, strong and resilient. Judy took on the many home responsibilities during Jack’s three tours to Vietnam …
