SARATOGA SPRINGS – Judith S. Mossman, 83, passed away Monday, September 9 at Wesley Health Care Center.

Judy grew up in Maplewood, New Jersey, graduating from Columbia High School in 1944. She then attended Skidmore College, majoring in English and graduating in the class of 1952. She and Allen, who was an administrator for a chemical company, married on July 20, 1952. They resided in Verona, New Jersey and moved to Saratoga Springs in August of 1991.
She volunteered part of her time as a librarian in the Verona High School, but the high point of her life was raising her four children.
