It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Judith S. McDonald. She passed away on May 23, 2026, at the age of 82.

Born on July 14, 1943, in Boston, MA, she lived a life marked by independence and an adventurous spirit. During the rise of country western dancing in the 80's, she enthusiastically embraced it, was a professional teacher, and sold many recordings. She valued the music, dancing and social connections it brought into her life.

Judith is survived by her three children Scott, Gene, and Cheryl, as well as her sister Sandi and other family members and friends who will remember her in their own special way. She was also deeply devoted to her two little dogs Hope and Scooter.

As family and friends reflect on her life, they will remember the moments and experiences that made her unique as well as her quick wit, smile and laughter. May she rest in peace.
