Judith B. Burns

MILLERTON — Judith (Judy) B. Burns, 86, of Millerton, passed away peacefully at home on April 11, 2025, surrounded by the love and warmth of her family.

Judy was born on Jan. 4, 1939, in Hudson, New York, to the late Parker and Aida (Ogden) Burdick. Judy was predeceased by her devoted husband, Thomas, of nearly 63 years. Together, they raised their beloved son, Thomas (Donna) Burns of Hudson, New York. Judy leaves behind two grandchildren, Sarah (Chris) Hensel of Castleton, New York, and Jennifer Burns of Hudson, New York, and two great-grandchildren, Addison and Julia Hensel. Judy will be dearly missed by her family and friends.

Judy graduated from Taconic Hills Central School District and soon thereafter met the love of her life, Tom, at a softball game. She found her calling in clothing sales at Saperstein’s in Millerton, where she and Tom resided for over 50 years.

Judy had a love of flowers, clothes shopping, good food, the NY Mets, and vacationing in Maine — especially going to Billy’s Chowder House. She was a voracious reader, with a special interest in biographies. You could count on Judy to have facts about all sorts of historical and pop-culture figures.

Interment will take place at Irondale Cemetery in Millerton, New York. Reverend Andrew O’Connor will officiate.

Conklin Funeral Home, 37 Park Avenue, Millerton, NY 12546. To send an online condolence to the family or plant a tree in Judy’s memory, please visit www.conklinfuneralhome.com
