Judith Ann (Root) Wilcox, 85, passed away peacefully at her home on Saturday, May 1, 2021.
Judy was born Oct. 16, 1935, in Waterbury, Connecticut, the daughter of Charles Bertrand Root and Mildred (Granger) Root, and sister to Nancy (Root) Davis and Sandra Jean (Root) Gemmel. Judy attended Russell Elementary School and graduated from Crosby High School in Waterbury in 1953. She attended Bates College in Lewiston for two years before marrying U.S. Navy veteran Irv Wilcox, also of Waterbury, and settling in Kennebunkport.
In her youth, Judy was an active member of the choir and church youth group, Pilgrim Fellowship, of the Second Congregational Church of Waterbury. She started dating Irv at a church dance, sneaking him in as her “cousin.” They later became engaged at a New Year’s Eve dance, married at the church on Sept. 25, 1955 and continued dancing together throughout their marriage of 48 years.
