Judy Wuertz Maloz

Judy Wuertz Maloz passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 25, 2018 at the age of 77. She was the cherished wife of 57 years to Robert “Bob” Maloz. Loving mother of Robin Ann Maloz (Robbie). Proud grandmother of Robert Elvis Maloz (Lauren). Daughter of the late Henry P. Wuertz Sr. and Irmgard O. Wuertz. Sister of Florence W. Battaglia (Johnny), Thelma W. Lucido (Anthony), Irene W. Wilson (Gerald) and the late Margie W. Mistretta (John), Irma W. Traub (Eddie), Clifford C. Wuertz (Dot), Henry P. Wuertz Jr. (Shirley), Roy I. Wuertz (Loretta), Cecile W. Merwin (Eddie) and Melvin H. Wuertz (Gail). Sister-in-law of the late Jack Bennett, Lloyd Martin and Ernest Hucke. She is also survived and fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.

Judy was a lifelong resident of St. Bernard Parish where she was a devoted Catholic and parishioner at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Violet, LA for over 45 years. She truly enjoyed life through her simple pleasures of her flowers and gardening, cooking for her friends and family, creating elaborate decorations (inside and outside) for the holidays, enjoying hot tea, good conversation and sharing wonderful and colorful stories from her past. She adored playing with her furbabies, Lady, Josè & Honey. She will always be remembered for her dedication to her family, her caring and loving spirit, her laughter, and the way she was able to make everyone feel special after talking to “Ms. Judy.” Finally, her well-known adoration for Elvis Presley was surpassed only by the love and devotion she held for her Grandson, her greatest joy in life, Robbie Elvis. He meant the world to her and she will always have a special place in his heart. She will be deeply missed by her family and by all those whose lives she touched.

Special thanks to Dr. Paul R. Verette, Dr. Jose Silva, Shelita Carr (NP), and the nurses and staff of both Ferncrest and St. Catherine’s.
