Judy Ann Cristini of Dillonvale, Ohio, transitioned peacefully on Monday, October 5, 2026, surrounded by her loving family at home.

Born on November 5, 1943, to Sebastian Ferraro and Rose (Spinelli) Ferraro, Judy lived a life defined by grace, kindness, laughter, and love. She shared a beautiful 63-year love story with her devoted husband, James Cristini.

Judy’s smile and laughter will forever be remembered by all who knew her. In her younger years, she enjoyed her weekly bowling league and cherished the friendships that came with it. She looked forward to her yearly “Girls’ Trip” with her beloved high school friends, and she never missed the opportunity to attend the sporting events of her grandsons. Judy also enjoyed trips to the casinos with her family and friends.

Above all, Judy will be remembered for the love she poured into her family. She had a true passion for cooking and took great pride in preparing amazing meals that brought everyone together around the table. Those meals, the laughter, the euchre games, the poker games and the memories created around them will remain a treasured part of her family’s life.

Judy is survived by her loving husband, James Cristini; her brother Sebastian (Debby) Ferraro of Montgomery AL, her sister Nancy Robak of St Cloud MN, her children, Dana (Rick) Durbin of Adena, Ohio, and Cara Rose of Dillonvale, Ohio; her three grandsons, affectionately known their entire lives as her “Three Stooges”: Richard (Loren) Durbin of Adena, Ohio; Ryan (Megan) Durbin of Adena, Ohio; and Dominic Rose of Cincinnati, Ohio.

She is also survived by four great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, and her favorite grand-dog, Dixie, who made frequent visits to see her.
