Judith A. Rhoades, age 79, of Meadville, Pennsylvania, peacefully passed away on January 24, 2025, at her residence, surrounded by her beloved family. Born on May 15, 1945, in Livingston, Montana, she was the daughter of Igantius Cirrincione and June Martin Cirrincione.
Judith was a proud graduate of Meadville High School and furthered her education by attending nursing school in Maumee, Ohio. She had a diverse career, notably serving as a machine operator at Greenleaf Corporation and as a substitute rural mail carrier for the Meadville Post Office. Additionally, Judith shared her warm personality and exceptional service skills as a waitress at several local restaurants.
Outside of her professional life, Judith enjoyed the simple pleasures of home—often found watching videos on her phone, and caring for her cherished kitty cats. A devoted mother and grandmother, she is survived by her daughter, Diane McHenry and husband Michael of Meadville; her sons, David Rhoades of Meadville, and Joe Rhoades and wife Barb of Aubrey, Texas; and her beloved grandchildren, Geoff Rhoades, Ashley Rhoades, Alysa Hetrick, Madison Rhoades, Kaden Rhoades, and Kyle Rhoades, along with two great-grandchildren. Judith also leaves behind her sister, Jeanne Carol Adams of Reading, Pennsylvania; her brother, Gary Cirrincione of Pittsburgh; her niece, Wendy Adams of Reading; and her nephew, Doug Adams of Reading.
Judith was preceded in death by her parents; her longtime companion of 27 years, Steven Denman; her brother-in-law, Roy Adams; her granddaughter, Jennifer Rhoades; and a stillborn sister, Betty Jean Cirrincione.
In honor of Judith’s life, no formal services will be held. Her family will commemorate her memory privately.
