GONZALES
Last evening saw the passing of Judith Ellen Marsella Gonzales of Richmond, a native of Danville, Virginia. Judith is survived by her huband, Gilbert; daughter, Lindsay; son, John; and countless friends and relatives whose lives she touched. Judy was a remarkable mother, wife, friend and professional, whose work in the community affected thousands and supported many. Her boundless energy and strength were inspirational to all who knew her, and her beauty, wisdom and grace were matched only by her sense of humor, intelligence, and devotion to her family. Mrs. Gonzales was a pediatric nurse practitioner who had worked for the Henrico County Health Department and other health organizations. She was a graduate of the Medical College of Virginia and the University of Virginia. Her dedication to her work with children was reflected in her constant willingness to repeatedly exceed the bounds of professional duty and provide medical care and comfort wherever it was needed regardless of hour or circumstance. Judy was a member of the Virginia Junior League and NAPNAP and served in various roles as a leader and committee chair at Reveille United Methodist Church. Judith was an avid tennis player, artist and volunteer, and in all capacities was an exemplary mother, friend and community member. The family will hold a visitation service at the Parham Road Chapel of the Woody Funeral Home Saturday, March 31 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Memorial services will be held on Sunday, April 1 at 3 p.m. at Reveille United Methodist Church on Cary Street.
