Judith A. (Lombard) Stocks

Sturbridge- Judith A. (Lombard) Stocks, 81, formerly of Uxbridge, MA and Lady Lake, FL, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, August 24, 2023 with her loving family by her side.

        She is survived by her devoted husband of 61 years, Charles, three children, Charles Stocks Jr. and his fiancé Michelle Fanion of Punta Gorda, FL, Robert Stocks and his wife Sandra of Houston, TX, and James Stocks and his wife Sandra of Rehoboth, MA; 7 grandchildren, Keith Stocks, Amanda Sullivan, Matthew Stocks, Patrick Stocks, Mikayla Stocks, Madison Stocks, and Patricia Stocks; 3 great-grandchildren, Prem Stocks, Franceszka Stocks and Henrietta Stocks. She also leaves behind her siblings, Betty Connery, Pati Mencoboni, Ellen Cotto, and John Lombard, and several nieces, nephews, and friends.

        Born in Cambridge on February 18, 1942, she was the daughter of Mary and John Lombard. Judy was raised in Framingham and was a graduate of Framingham High School. While raising her young family, she earned her bachelor’s degree from Framingham State. Judith went on to work tirelessly for the town of Uxbridge, serving the police department and building inspections department, zoning board and town manager. Over the years, her career included time at Framingham Trust, the Department of Social Services, Ford Motor Company, Nelmor, and Unibank. 

        Not content to sit idly by, Judith was involved in several town committees working to make Uxbridge a better place for all. She received multiple awards and accolades for her services on the Uxbridge Korean/Vietnam Memorial Committee, the Charter Commission, the Finance Committee, the Thayer Fund Trust, and as the Chair of the Zoning Board of Appeals. She also played a key role in founding the Uxbridge Youth Center where she was a frequent volunteer.

       Judy would always act as a champion for those without a voice, organizing numerous food and clothing drives, as well as drives to provide holiday gifts.  Her generous heart prompted her to also open her home to several foster children over the years.  

      A devoted wife and mother, she enjoyed spending time at the beach, vanilla ice cream cones, everything purple, but more than anything, she loved her family and dedicated her life to making sure everyone was happy.

      Her family would like to extend their gratitude and utmost appreciation to Jewish Home Hospice for their outstanding care and compassion shown to Judith and her family with special thank you to Crystal, Anne Marie, Sister Jane, Marlene, Jodie, and Hillary.

     Visiting hours for Judith will be held on Tuesday, August 29th from 1 – 4PM with a funeral home service to follow at 4 PM in Tancrell-Jackman Funeral Home, 35 Snowling Rd., Uxbridge.
