Administrators Pompeii Posted March 19 Administrators Share Posted March 19 Judith Ann Moore Veronesi died peacefully after a courageous battle with throat cancer on March 18, 2024. She was born June 2, 1936 in Browning, MO, to Beverly (Duncan) and Robert Moore. Baptized into the Christian faith at an early age, Judy remained a faithful believer throughout her life. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend—known for her quick and curious mind, her sense of humor, her fierce loyalty, and her fighting spirit. After graduating from Liberty High School in Browning (class of 1954), Judy went on to receive her Bachelor of Science degree from Northeast Missouri State University in Kirksville, MO. She was an active member of Tri Sigma sorority and a fourth generation PEO sister. She also sang professionally (for two seasons) with the Muny Opera in St. Louis. During that time, Judy met her husband of 66 years, Dr. John (Jack) Veronesi. Jack, who was attending medical school nearby, and came across a photo of Judy as homecoming queen in the newspaper. He vowed to meet her, and the rest is history! Following her graduation, Judy spent two years teaching physical education to middle schoolers in the Kirksville public school system while Jack finished medical school. In 1960, the couple moved to Grove City for Jack’s residency before ultimately settling in Cambridge Springs, PA. Judy was a loving full-time mother to her three children: Robert (b. 1958), Cynthia (b. 1960), and Brent (b. 1962). In 1975, the family moved to DuBois, where they would live for nearly five decades. Judy was a beloved and active member of her community at Treasure Lake. She was a founding member of the Association of Women Investors and her bridge club, remaining involved in both groups for over forty years. She also loved her golfing and bowling leagues and enjoyed working at Leonardson’s of DuBois using her flair as fashion coordinator for many local charity fashion shows. Most of all, she treasured her family and friends—who came from far and wide to visit on her patio and taste her famous Missouri recipes, like her fried chicken and chocolate fudge. Judy was a proud Missourian and never lost her love of her native state. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Jack (September 2023), both her parents, and her beloved sister, Cynthia Dotson (October 1993). She is survived by her two sons, Robert and Brent Veronesi of Port Matilda, and Boalsburg, PA, and their wives, Meredith Veronesi and Dr. Robin Oliver Veronesi; her daughter, Cynthia Delaney of Encinitas, CA, and her husband Tom Delaney; her six grandchildren, Alexa, Cam, Julia, Olivia, Victoria, and Rocco; and her niece, Dr. Jane Dotson Reed of Kansas City, MO.
