BRACEVILLE -- Judith Ann Roviscanec passed away peacefully on Friday, Dec. 26, 2025, surrounded by her family at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital.
Judy was born Sept. 10, 1953, in Warren, to Delores and Walter Harris.
She was the fourth of five children (three brothers and one sister). She lived in Braceville her entire life.
Judy graduated from LaBrae High School in 1971. She then married her high school sweetheart, John L. Roviscanec, on June 14, 1971. They spent 50 years navigating all the peaks and valleys that came their way until John's passing in November 2021. They raised three children together, April (Darin) Morrison of Champion, Steve (Aimee Joy Herlinger) Roviscanec of Warren and Andrew (Tabby) Roviscanec of Morgantown, W.Va. Judy had eight grandchildren she adored, Anthony (Margo Young) Lambis of Akron, Tylor Roviscanec, Maddie (Jake) Amrein of Cortland, Luke (Cassidy) Roviscanec of New Castle, Pa., Jake (Natalie) Roviscanec of Natrona Heights, Pa., Haylie (Rhen) McConaughey of Champion, and JJ and Damien Roviscanec of Morgantown, W.Va.; and her beautiful great-granddaughter she was so excited to finally meet in March 2026.
Judy attended Choffin School of Practical Nursing and graduated Jan. 30, 1981. She was so proud to be a nurse. She worked at Robinson Memorial Hospital in Ravenna and then Laurie Ann Nursing Home in Newton Falls until an injury made her retire.
Judy was an active member of Braceville Christian Church for 40 years and made many friendships in Christ. She loved studying the Bible and worshipping God.
She loved to ride horses and roller coasters, to read, to watch scary movies, to take care of her home and flower beds, to take vacations and be surrounded by her children and grandchildren.
Judy was a sweet, loving, kind, beautiful soul with a stubborn streak a mile long.
She will be missed by her kids; her grandkids; her sister, Eileen Patchin; her brother, Mike (Carla) Harris; nieces and nephews; and her friends from church.
Gone but never forgotten and finally at peace.
Burial will be in Braceville Township Cemetery.
