Judith A. Iapalucci, "Judy", age 79, loving mother and adoring grandmother, passed away peacefully on September 17, 2019.

Daughter of the late Francis and Inez Iapalucci, Judy was born and raised in Detroit, MI.  She moved to Clifton Heights at the age of 14 and attended Notre Dame High School in Moylan.  Shortly after high school Judy married Robert Patrizio and started her growing family, eventually settling in the Media area.  Full of energy and life, Judy created a warm and loving home for her 5 children.  Very active in her faith, Judy was a parishioner of St. Mary Magdalen before moving to Chester County where she became a Eucharistic Minister at St. Joseph's in Downingtown. Judy worked for 14 years for the Clerk of Courts in the Chester County Courthouse.  She was an ardent supporter of animal rights and rescued many animals over the years.  She found incredible joy when she was at the beach, but nothing brought her more joy than her family.  Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were her life.

Judy was preceded in death by her beloved grandson, Stephen Patrizio, Jr.  She is survived by her children Robert Patrizio, Jr. (Donna) of Downingtown, Stephen Patrizio of Solon, OH, Tracey Wichhart of Atglen, PA, Tammy Leslie (Scott) of Honey Brook, PA, and Jaclyn Patrizio of Burlington, VT.  Grandchildren Robert Patrizio, III, Tyler Patrizio, Derek Patrizio, Emily Patrizio, Caitlin Patrizio, Abigail Patrizio, Chad Ferguson, Jessica Wichhart, Daniel Gribbin, Christina Gribbin, Aaron Gribbin, Andrew Gribbin, Liam Conboy, and Cabelle Ostrander; great-grandchildren Kaden and Kolton Famalaro and Kason Ferguson.  She is also survived by her sister, Diane Camarote of Garnet Valley along with many nieces and nephews.
