Obituary

Geraldine (Judy) Percival of Bath, NY
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, and GiGi. Judy, as everyone knew her by was born on November 9, 1949, and left this world on February 19, 2026, with her loving daughters by her side. She now joins the love of her life, Joe.

Judy's life was one filled with lots of love and devotion to her family and friends. She had a heart of gold and would offer help to anyone needing it.

Judy was a woman of many talents, from cooking, gardening, and sewing to playing music by ear. Judy started her musical talent early in life, coming from a musical family. Judy learned how to play the accordion, piano and guitar by watching and listening. Never able to read music, Judy would listen to a song and sit down and start playing. She enjoyed entertaining others with her musical talents. Over the years, Judy volunteered her musical talents at local nursing homes, churches and the VA as well as playing at family gatherings. She knew the way to most hearts was through music, she would bring smiles to their faces with the old school songs.

Over the years, Judy opened her home to take care of several children, enjoying every single one that entered her home. In later years, Judy worked in the cafeteria at Bath Central School, she enjoyed the time getting to watch the students grow.

Judy was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother - She loved with all her heart. Judy worked alongside her husband Joe throughout their life together. They instilled a strong work ethic in their children and grandchildren.

Judy loved to travel and was able to take a few trips with family and friends over the years, she was able to make the trip she dreamed of to Maine and Vermont, she loved the shoreline and the beauty those mountains offered.

Judy is survived by her daughters, Lorie (Ray) Behari, Lisa (Scott) Rodbourn - grandchildren, Sarah Rowland (Matt), Rachel (Jonathan) Stromsness and Joey Rodbourn - great grandchildren, Aiden, Mia, and Kinsley.
