Preceded in death by husband Rick Ferraro, grandson Ben Althoff, brother Bill Scavo, and parents Angelo and Patricia (Larson) Scavo. Born on December 31, 1957 on New Year's Eve, Judy has always been the life of the party and known for her friendly smile, compassion for others, and sassy humor. She was raised in NE Minneapolis and was the youngest of 4 children and the only girl. She was the princess of the family, getting whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted-something she loved reminding her older brothers of. She spent her childhood causing trouble for her big brothers while they babysat her. As she grew older, Judy beat her brothers in games of cribbage and 500 and enjoyed vacations at Women's Lake with her family in the summertime. Judy attended Boniface Catholic School until she moved up to Northeast Junior High. Then, she graduated with her diploma at Edison High School in 1975. Afterwards, Judy obtained her Bachelors of Science degree while raising her two young daughters. With her education and skills, she served her community through a variety of positions, where she made a profound impact. Most recently, she spent over a decade working as a manager at a healthcare organization. Judy was coined as the "boss lady" and was well-loved by her staff for her leadership. As a music lover, Judy had countless memories attending concerts like Elton John, Prince, Garth Brooks and more with her children and friends. She also enjoyed spoiling her grandchildren, visiting the Minnesota State Fair, traveling throughout the U.S. and Europe to places like Las Vegas and Amsterdam (see photo of Judy in tulip field), watching TV and movies, attending her kids and grandkids' sporting events, ensuring her dogs were behaving, drinking cocktails, and many many other activities. Judy delighted in hosting holidays and parties, as she was a wonderful cook and hostess. She relished decorating for the holidays, especially Christmas and spent many hours playing (and winning) games like Five Crowns, Farkle, and cards. Anything that involved building and cultivating friendships, Judy adored. Judy is remembered by her large, loving community of family and friends. She valued everyone she met and made sure each person felt appreciated. Her welcoming smile and big personality will be deeply missed. Memorial service and celebration of life will be held Wednesday, December 13th, 2023, 7pm at Washburn-McReavy Hillside Chapel, 2901 Johnson Street N.E. Minneapolis, MN 55418. Visitation will be available one hour prior to service, starting at 6pm.
