Judith Kikitz's Obituary
Judy was one of a kind — a mother, grandma, sister, and aunt. Above all, she was someone you could turn to in your worst moments, and she had a rare gift for leaving a lasting impact on every person fortunate enough to know her.
Judy had a way of finding a place in any room and drawing everyone toward her. Some might say there were stars in her eyes, but those stars were part of what made her so special. With that same light, she could make you feel seen and understood. Astrology was something she studied deeply and loved wholeheartedly. Throughout her life, she experienced and witnessed more than many do in five lifetimes. She traveled across the country, using her gifts to touch and change the lives of those around her.
Judy treated everyone with love and respect. No matter how difficult life had been for her, she continued to love unconditionally. She believed love was something everyone deserved.
On May 25, 2026, the world lost a pure heart. Judy loved her family deeply and completely. She would not want us to cry over “what ifs,” but instead to cherish the fond memories we shared with her. We ask that you remember Judy in her brightest moments. Remember her as you knew her — whether as Judy, Judith, Meme, or by any other name you may have called her. What matters most is that you remember her.
Judith Gail Kikitz is survived by her children, Christina Estrada, Ruschele Abbruzzese, and Shara Stage; her sister, Soni (Bill) Seevers; her niece, Shannon Estrada-Hillierd; her nephews, Shane Estrada and Shawn Roberts; her grandchildren, Isaiah (Kara) Rodriguez, Gianna Abbruzzese, Tyler Stage, Eric Stage, and Kendra Stage; as well as many friends who became family. Judith was preceded in death by her son, Scott Stage; her grandson, Ian Rudnitskas; her brother, David Trachel; and her parents, Russel Alexander and Dorothy Roberts.
