Judy was born on January 17, 1943, in Binghamton, NY to Marion and Perry Loveless. She passed on July
31, 2023 after a valiant struggle with cancer.
She is survived by her husband, William Duffy of Vestal; her sons Paul Duffy of Vestal and Stephen Duffy
(Gerry Strobel) of Williamsville NY; her daughter and son in law Sharon and Louis Giordano of Endwell
NY; her beloved grandchildren Nicholas, Samuel, Maxwell, Lydia and Sophia Giordano; her grandpup
Ollie; her brother Eddie; her sisters Esther and Janice; and by many nieces and nephews, especially Jack,
Mike, Jody and Pam, some who said that Judy was like a second mother to them. Judy was predeceased
by her parents and her brother Robert.
Judy was a tough as nails, tell it like it is woman who rarely took “no” for an answer, but she also
conveyed love and acceptance to all of those in her life.
After raising her children Judy Opened Beau Nails Salon in Vestal. She won numerous awards for her
work and was known as the “Nail Lady” until her retirement. She was an artist at heart and enjoyed
painting, crocheting, needlepoint, china painting and sewing many Halloween costumes. Her children
speak fondly of the holiday paintings she would create on the windows of the family home at Christmas
time. Her artwork will live on forever as it is passed down through the generations.
Her pride and joy are her five grandchildren who she proudly displayed on Facebook. Their memories of
crafts, nail painting, sleepovers and smores by the fire will never be forgotten.
The family would like to especially thank Judy’s dear friend Ruthie and all who visited and provided
comfort in Judy’s final days.
There will be no formal funeral services.
