Judythe Ann Lenhart

Born on March 26, 1941, in Altoona, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of the late Anthony Verilla and Aurelia Corso Verilla.

Judythe dedicated much of her life to caring for others, both professionally and personally. She worked as a medical secretary at Altoona Hospital in Altoona, PA, until her retirement in 1998. After retiring, she relocated to North Carolina with her husband and continued to embrace life with warmth and devotion.

Judythe cherished her family above all else. Her grandchildren brought a special sparkle to her eyes, and she found immense joy in their presence. She was preceded in death by her siblings: John Verilla, Michael Verilla, Eugene Verilla, Anthony Verilla, and Lorraine Russo.

She is lovingly remembered by beloved husband, Jerry Lenhart; her daughter Jennifer Appleby (Rich) of Angier, NC; grandsons Jon Appleby (Tina) of Apex, NC, and Brian Appleby of Angier, NC; and great-granddaughter Chelsea Appleby of Angier, NC.

She also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and a host of friends who will miss her dearly.

Judythe had a passion for gardening and loved spending time at the beach. She also enjoyed traveling across the United States with her husband during his career—experiences that enriched their lives together.

A memorial service will be held later to honor her life and legacy.

May her memory bring comfort to all who knew and loved her.
