Judith Irene Goltsch (Ault), lovingly known as Judy, entered her heavenly home on Saturday, September 20, 2025, in the late morning hours at her cherished home she built with her devoted husband, Larry.

Even through illness, Judy's spirit remained strong. Her illness did not define her; instead, she will be remembered as a woman of beauty, grace, and resilience. After a brief stay in the hospital, Judy returned home on August 31 to the comfort of her family, where she was lovingly cared for by her daughter, Wendy, until her passing.

Born in Lancaster, PA, on October 21, 1946, Judy lived a life defined by love, faith, and unwavering devotion to her family. She shared 56 years of marriage with Larry, her beloved and dedicated husband, building a life filled with warmth, laughter, and care. Together they created a home full of love and memories. Their 57th wedding anniversary would have been celebrated on October 12. Judy's greatest joy in life was her family. She gave her whole heart to those she loved and was deeply cherished in return. Her love, grace, and beauty will remain in our hearts forever.

She is the proud and devoted mother of Todd Goltsch (Leola) and her daughter Wendy (Goltsch) Gockley, (East Petersburg), and the adoring grandmother (Nanny) of Kevin Gockley (York) and Megan Gockley (Lititz). Judy's legacy of kindness, grace, and unconditional love will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. Her brother Donald E. Ault preceded her in death on July 1, 2025. She was the daughter of DeForrest J. Ault Jr. and Madaline Louise Ault (Mitcheltree). Judy cherished the summers at her grandparents' home in Emporium, PA and she especially loved spending time by the shore in Wildwood Crest, NJ. She is survived in addition by her sister, Joyce A. (Ault) Curwin, Ramona, CA and brother, David A. Ault, Orlando, FL. She also cherished her many nieces and nephews.

Services to honor Judy's life will be held at Charles F, Snyder Home, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz, PA on Monday, September 29th; visitation 10-11 am with a service at 11am. Friends and family are invited to gather and celebrate the beautiful woman who will remain a bright light in our lives. Her love, grace, and beauty will remain in our hearts forever. She will be laid to rest at the Conestoga Memorial Park, Lancaster, PA beside her beloved parents.
