Judith "Judy" A. Devine

Judith “Judy” A. Devine, age 82, of Toledo, Ohio was reunited with family and friends when she was called home by the Lord on July 1, 2024. She was born in Toledo to John Driscoll and Virginia (Miller) Schalitz. Judy graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1960. After school she worked for Textileather Corp., Catholic Charities, and then as a secretary for over 30 years at Most Blessed Sacrament School before retiring. Judy and her husband were foster parents for many years for many children in need of a loving temporary home. She was a longtime parishioner at Most Blessed Sacrament. She loved her parish and she could often be found volunteering her time to the quilting ministry, fish fries, festivals, and treasure sales. She also enjoyed fishing, thrifting and shopping, attending her grandchildren’s sporting events, and coloring (artistic shading as she called it). Judy was known for her glitzy-glam, one-of-kind fashion and her love of chocolate and ice cream. Her greatest pride and joy in life were her grandchildren, and she couldn’t brag about them enough.

In addition to her parents, Judy was preceded in death by her husband, Ray Devine; sister, Jan Borer; and step-father, Alfred Schalitz. She is survived by her sons, Matthew (Ashley) Devine, Kevin (Mary) Devine, and Dan (Matt) Devine; grandchildren, Brian, Lauren, Andrew, and Zachary Devine; brother-in-law, Jim Borer; many nieces and nephews; and foster daughter, Patricia Akenberger and her children.

The family will receive guests on Sunday, July 7, 2024 from 3 -7 pm at Newcomer Funeral Home – Northwest Chapel, 4150 W. Laskey Rd, Toledo, where a Prayer Service will begin at 7 pm. A Funeral Mass will begin on Monday, July 8, 2024 at 11 am at Most Blessed Sacrament Parish, 2240 Castlewood Dr, Toledo, with an hour of visitation preceding services.
