Judith Lynn Sitarz

Judith Lynn Sitarz died peacefully and with dignity on September 18th, 2023 at age 73 in her home of 42 years. Born on April 30, 1950 in Northeast Minneapolis, Judith was the first of Edward and Lorraine's five children. She was a lifelong resident of Minneapolis, the city she loved. She attended Regina High School and then graduated from the College of St. Benedict with a degree in history. Judith took a position in the family business, Prospect Foundry, Inc., working in various roles. She was the only female member of the American Foundry Society and a member of Metal Casters of Minnesota. After leaving the foundry in 1989, Judith traveled the world. She fell particularly in love with Asian artwork and culture. She was drawn back into business when she acquired a residential and industrial painting company, Painting Perfection, which she ran successfully until 2019. Among her many accomplishments, Judith received the Entrepreneur of the Year award from the College of St. Benedict and served two terms on the Board of Trustees. She also served on the board of DeLasalle High School and as president of her condo association. Judith enjoyed a full and grand life with many interests that she shared with her friends and family. Notoriously devoted to dogs, her westie pairs provided much love and companionship over her life. She was fiercely independent and a champion for other female leaders. A voracious reader and member of several book clubs, she often started conversations by asking, "So! What are you reading?" Judith loved Opera and appreciated good food and wine. She was dedicated to understanding and documenting family history. She was an amateur gardener, a member of various arts and cultural groups around the Twin Cities, and found respite at her lake house in Taylors Falls. Judith was preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Lorraine (Soltys) Sitarz, and sister Margaret Isaacson. She is survived by her sisters Janet Sitarz and Joyce (John) Lasser, and brother Paul (Terry) Sitarz, along with many nieces, nephews, and beloved friends. Mass of Christian burial on Thursday, September 28, 10:00 at Our Lady of Lourdes, 1 Lourdes Place, Minneapolis, MN; visitation one hour before. See the website for parking options. Please consider a donation to Grace Hospice in lieu of flowers.
