Judith A. Geller

Hampton - Judith Ann Geller, 75, beloved daughter of God, a strong Portuguese-American woman whose life was devoted to family and to charity, passed on October 1, 2021 after a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. She died peacefully at home in Hampton with family by her side. Judy was born in Peabody, MA, on February 12, 1946 to Mary (Viana) Faria, a homemaker, and Arnold Faria, a labor organizer with ties to the Azorean Portuguese community. She grew up there with her three loving sisters, Laura, Paula, and Ruth...and sister by proxy, Janie (McGuire) Ellis. The Faria girls had some adventurous travels together including trips down to Boston and visiting Hawaii, Mexico, and Portugal. Judy always knew how to have fun, going dancing, loving music, and greatly enjoying summer reunions with her cousins at the family cottage in Westport, MA. Graduating from high school, she worked in a leather factory and the City of Peabody town hall. On the side, Judy trained herself informally to be an expert on health, and was always able to give people excellent medical advice. In 1972, she and her husband moved to Hampton, where she worked many years for the public schools. She had three beautiful and deeply devoted daughters, Amy, Alicia, and Amanda. Judy loved Hampton and spent the rest of her life there, dedicated to many local charities and making an amazing number of friends. Judy was a servant of God, a true Christian, a strong Catholic. She attended Mass from early childhood, and was a faithful communicant of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church, where she served as a Eucharist minister. Working tirelessly with St. Vincent de Paul and long active with the Lions Club, she collected winter coats every year and conducted annual yard sales for her favorite causes. She was also an elected official in Hampton as a Library Trustee. Service was her calling, and Judy offered her generous spirit to everyone and to every organization in her path. She is survived by her three daughters Amy, Alicia, and Amanda Geller, a granddaughter Azora, two sisters Ruth Louf and Paula Jenkins, two nieces Sally and Julie, two nephews Scott and Jimmy and their spouses, the father of her children Mark Geller and seven great-nephews and nieces Nathan, Callie, Luke, Elliot, Michael, Andrew, and Emily.
