Kathleen A. Judge

Kathleen A. Judge, 79, of Oceanside, New York, passed away on Friday, January 16, 2026 surrounded by her husband and children. She was the daughter of Hilda Dannemann.

Kathy was a hairdresser for over 60 years, a calling that suited her perfectly—she connected with people easily and made others feel comfortable and cared for. Above all, she will be remembered for being kind, loving, and funny, and for the warmth she brought to her family and everyone around her.
