Hoosick Falls – Judith Ann “Judi” Harrington, 48, of Railroad Avenue, Hoosick Falls, NY, died on Thursday, May 16, 2013, at the Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation at Hoosick Falls after a valiant and courageous 18 month battle against cancer. She was surrounded by her loving family and friends.
Born in Cambridge, NY, on August 7, 1964, Judi was the daughter of the late Thomas E. and MaryJane E. Trimble Harrington Sr. A lifelong resident of Hoosick Falls, Judi was a 1982 graduate of St. Mary’s Academy and a communicant of the Immaculate Conception Church. She attended Putnam School of Nursing in Bennington, VT. She worked as a LNA at the Bennington Health and Rehab and, for the last 16 years, as a Certified Nursing Assistant at the Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation at Hoosick Falls (formerly Hoosick Falls Health Center), where she made many lasting friendships. Judi was a past member of the Hoosick Falls American Legion Post 40 Ladies Auxiliary and Town of Hoosick Junior Rescue Squad.  She enjoyed crafting, gardening and especially tending to her rosebushes, which brought her much joy. Judi was also an avid cook who loved to bake and prepare culinary delights for all those around her. She took much pride in her home and loved spending time at the poolside surrounded by her gardens. Judi had a great passion for shopping. Her true love was that of her family and the many friendships she had. She had a smile that “would brighten the room” and always made those around her comfortable. She will be sorely missed.
