Obituary of Judith A. Carano

Judith "Judy" A. Carano, 70 passed away peacefully at home on Monday, July 10, 2017 after a lengthy illness. Born in Philadelphia, Pa in 1946 she grew up in Clayton, NJ before moving to Minotola, NJ in 1972 upon marrying the love of her life, Ronnie Carano. Judy lived a simple life and embraced her role of wife, mother and grandmother. She often asked family and friends, "What can I help you with today?" Judy possessed a quiet strength, was incredibly unselfish and extremely giving. She loved 50's music, crafting with her Matlack Pharmacy friends, shopping at Boscov's and going to dinner with her husband. Judy, together with her husband loved hosting Christmas Eve for family. Her baking skills made the holidays extra special as everyone waited for her to pass along her famous ricotta cookies. Long walks and evening drives with her husband, and often with their dog Blackie were very enjoyable to her. She would cook for 10 people every night even though there were only 4 in her family. "You never know who's going to show up" and often the dinner table was full of 8 to 10 people. Judy's life was fulfilled when the grandchildren arrived. She cherished spending her time with them and never missed a single opportunity to support them on any stage or baseball field. She always made them feel special with a daily phone call and trips to the ice cream shop. They will always remember how strong "Mommom" was and how, even on her toughest days, she would manage to make them smile. Judy was predeceased by her parents, William and Mildred (Mazucca) Scuito; her husband, Ronnie "Butch" L. Carano; brother, Joe Scuito; her in-laws, Ivan and Eleanor (Fulves) Carano; and cousin Bobby Marino. She is survived by 2 sons, Ronn Carano, Jr and wife Audra (Olson), John Carano and fiancé Keswicke Jeffcoat; 4 grandchildren, Hailey, Tre, Aidan and O'Tera Carano and many nieces and nephews. Graveside services will be held on Sunday, July 16, 2017 at 11am at the Atlantic County Veterans Cemetery, 109 State Hwy 50 Mays Landing, NJ. Arrangements are by DeMarco-Luisi Funeral Home 2755 S.
