SHREWSBURY, MA - Judith (Zodkoy) Buchwald, 80, died in hospice care on February 1, 2015 in Worcester, MA from complications following lung cancer.
A true “Jersey Girl”, Judy was born in Bayonne, NJ and lived in Central New Jersey until she moved to Massachusetts in 2014. She was married to Bernard “Mickey” Buchwald who preceded her in death. Judy is survived by her daughters Adrienne Linnell of Northborough MA and Lisa Lansing of Los Angeles CA; her sons-in-law, Thomas Linnell and Anders Lansing and her beloved grandson, Tor Lansing. She is also survived by Harvey Zodkoy (brother) of NJ, Anita Sunshine (cousin) of Long Island NY and many nieces and nephews. Judy was a devoted grandmother and became a New England Patriots fan in the last few months of her life. The team won the Super Bowl on the day of her passing which her family believes may have been the result of some divine intervention.
A private memorial service will be held in the spring. In lieu of flowers, Judy’s family encourages memorial donations to the Rose Monahan Hospice Home (
