Judy Kay Irizarry, 65, was welcomed into the gates of Heaven on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, at Hershey Medical Center, surrounded by her loving husband and family. Born in Lancaster, she was the daughter of the late John Rohrer and Ruth Ellen Smuck Bear. Judy and her husband, David N. Irizarry, were married just shy of 39 years; they loved, laughed and took on life with one another. She first worked at Jamesway, where she met her husband and later took her career to Y&S Candies.

Judy had a love for the outdoors, camping and traveling to their cabin, "Lovebird Inn". When enjoying the great outdoors, it was either riding four wheelers or on the back of her hubby's motorcycle. Crafts were another passion of Judy's where she could embrace her creativity. She was known for her great cooking, especially her delicious pork and sauerkraut. More than anything, she cherished time with her family, especially her grandkids who lovingly referred to her as "Crazy Nanny".

She will be lovingly missed by her husband, David N. Irizarry, Daughters, Melissa Kay Strine, Jessica Irizarry and her partner Sandro Mazzola, Maritza Garriga wife of Kevin, Allysha Scipio, 12 grandchildren, a brother, Billy Bear, and her dear friends, Marybeth, Anna, and Stephanie. Preceding her in passing are siblings, Mary Ann Creasy "Sissy", John Bear, and Bob Bear.

Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend Judy's funeral service at Charles F. Snyder Jr. Funeral Home & Crematory, 3110 Lititz Pike, Lititz PA 17543, on Thursday, March 13, 2025, at 11:30 AM. There will be a viewing at the funeral home from 9:30 AM until the time of service.
