Judith Anne Vile

Judith Anne Vile, affectionately known as Judy, was born on July 15, 1947, in Northampton, Massachusetts. She lived a life marked by creativity, adventure, generosity, and an abiding love for family and friends.

Judy was a passionate traveler, with Paris and Italy holding a special place in her heart. Her appreciation for fashion, culture, and the arts became an important part of her life and career. She graduated from Emerson College in 1969 with a degree in Dramatic Arts and Education and went on to pursue careers in both acting and education.

Judy later followed her entrepreneurial spirit and opened Valeska’s, a clothing store specializing in fashions from Paris and Italy. Her love of fashion and textiles eventually led her into textile sales, a career she enjoyed for the final 35 years of her professional life before retiring.

Those who knew Judy will remember her most for the warmth and generosity she shared so freely. She was a loving and giving person who sincerely cared about everyone around her. Her love touched and inspired many, and her kindness left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Family was especially important to Judy. She cultivated deep and meaningful relationships with her niece and nephew and cherished every opportunity to spend time with them and build relationships with her grand-nieces and grand-nephews. Her time with family and the loving bonds she created with them were among the greatest sources of happiness in her life.

Judy was preceded in death by her father, Kenneth Vile, who passed away in 1991, and her mother, Stephania Kulessa, who passed away in 2000.

She is survived by her brother, Jim Vile, and his wife, Lorna Dembinski, and their children, Madison Vile and Mackenzie Eisele; and her brother, Doug Vile, and his wife, Jere Vile. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and the many people whose lives she touched.
