Judith Barbara Jacobs, beloved wife, mother, sister, and friend, was born on July 22, 1950, in the Bronx, New York to the late Lawrence & Ruth (Yellin) Epstein. She passed away peacefully on April 21, 2026 in Boca Raton, Florida.

Judy was an avid pet lover, especially with dogs, birds, fish and turtles. She enjoyed going on cruises and spending time with family.

Judy was a fighter who faced every challenge with strength, grace, and quiet determination. She is a breast cancer survivor and has shown an incredible resilience through multiple surgeries and health struggles. She was known for her warm heart, her unwavering support for her family, and the way she made everyone feel safe and loved.

To her sons Adam and Jonathan, she was more than a mother — she was their daily evening confidante, their safe place, and their biggest cheerleader. She was always there when they needed her, offering comfort, wisdom, and unconditional love.

To her husband Len, she was a loving and devoted partner for 53 years. Their bond was deep and steadfast, built on shared laughter, supporting each other through life’s challenges, and a lifetime of memories together.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Len; her loving sons, Adam and Jonathan; her daughter-in-law, Janet; her sister, Roberta; and many other family members and friends who will miss her deeply.

Judith fought hard, loved deeply, and left behind a legacy of strength and kindness. She will be forever missed and carried in our hearts.
