Judith Ann Switzer

Judith Ann ("Judi") Switzer passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, as the result of COVID-19 and Pneumonia on December 28th, 2023. She was 69 years old. Judi led an amazing life; married at 18 and a mother at 20, she worked as a secretary in Manhattan for an investment firm, but also worked hard at night learning the investment business and earning her certificate to sell securities. She became a stock broker in the late 1970s, working at the L.F. Rothschild brokerage and later Advest. Many of her clients were professional athletes, actors, and other famous individuals. After leaving wall street in the late 1980s, she worked as the personal assistant for an investment banker until medical issues resulting from a car accident led to the end of her first career in the early 1990s. Moving to central New Jersey to be close to her brother and sisters, she worked in the Caruso school guidance office in Keansburg, where many of the kids (who were friends of her nieces and nephews) called her "Aunt Judi" until she was stricken with cancer in the late 1990s, ending her working years. When she was healthy, she loved to travel and visited much of the continental United States, Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, and Central America, and her home was filled with many reminders of those trips. She was an accomplished cook and baker, having been taught by her mother who was the best cook she knew. She was always fascinated with the spiritual and maintained a large collection of angel statues. But, by far, the most important thing to her in life was family, especially her granddaughters, her nieces, and her nephews. Judi was predeceased by her father Thomas Edward Switzer, her uncle Lenny Alessi, and her brother-in-law Dickie Chin. She is survived by her mother Wilhelmina "Minnie" Switzer, her aunt Judy Alessi, her Brother Thomas Switzer, her sisters Carol Chin, Alice Clemente, and Karen Switzer, sister-in-law Maribel Posada-Switzer, brother-in-law Dominic Clemente, her son John Kupski, daughter-in-law Jessica Hackney-Kupski, granddaughters Zeriella Raina Kupski and Morgan Isolde Jasper Kupski, five nieces, five nephews, twenty-one grand nieces and nephews, a multitude of cousins, and many friends. The family requests that, instead of flowers, donations be made to the American Cancer Society.
