Judith M. Smith Peterson, age 71, of Bridgeport, beloved wife of the late John Peterson, passed away on Saturday, April 28, 2012. Judith, a retired baker for Shop Rite, was born in Bridgeport to the late Frank and Gladys (Manning) Smith and has been a life long area resident. She was an avid reader, and especially enjoyed mysteries, and studying ancient Egypt. Judith loved her trips to the Casino's, but most of all loved her cats Midget, Lulu, and Peanut. Her family would like to thank the staff of Stratford VNA, especially Ceil Begg, for their kind care. Survivors include her Sisters-in-law Christa Fucci, and Julia Malewski, dear friends Louise Helland, and Ron Moreau, and several nieces and nephews. A gathering to celebrate Judith's life will take place on Wednesday, July 11th from 4-6 p.m. in the Adzima Funeral Home 50 Paradise Green Place Stratford. In lieu of flowers those desiring may make donations in Judith's memory to the Stratford VNA, 88 Ryders Lane Stratford, CT. 06614
