Publish in a newspaper

Judith Adair (nee Farrington), 63, of Shrewsbury, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Sunday, July 27th, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer.
A native of West Yorkshire, England, Judith was a beloved daughter to Tom and to Sheila and best friend to big sister Jacqueline.
Married to Douglas on January 17th, 1987, after a whirlwind 11-month romance, she was a devoted mother to Amy and to Alex and more recently a proud grandma to her "little sunshine" Olivia.
A proud aunt to Daniel, Brendan, Felicity, Michael, Lucy, Alix and Max, and Godmother to "baby Michael" and Anna, she also more recently welcomed and cherished son-in-law Justin and daughter-in-law Sarah.
Over a 20-year period working in the Shrewsbury School System she made countless life-long friends and was a pillar at the Spring Street School from 2008 until her retirement in 2023, where she touched the lives of so many of her "little babies" who all adored Mrs. Adair.
"Jude", as she was affectionately known, was a dazzling light in the lives of all of us who were fortunate to have known her. Loving, infectious, loyal, funny, loud, compassionate and caring does not begin to do justice to her personality, or to who she was. But to know her was to love her.
Above all, she loved being a mum to Amy and to Alex and they are both a wonderful reflection of her love and support from the day they were born.
Her passing leaves a void in the hearts of her family, her countless friends, and the many, many others, whose lives she has touched.
She will be lovingly remembered and dearly missed.
A Celebration of Life service honoring Judith's life will be held privately for her family. Friends may gather to visit with Judith's family on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, from 3:00- 7:00 PM at the Britton Funeral Home, 648 Main Street, Shrewsbury.
