Judith A. Mills 1950-2026
SOUTHINGTON — Judith Ann Mills, 76, passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 7, 2026.
Judith was born March 14, 1950, in Youngstown, the daughter of the late Glenn and Betty McTague Massie.
She spent her early years in Warren before marrying the love of her life, Joseph H. Mills, on Aug. 11, 1973. Together they made their home in Southington, where they built a life centered on love, family and cherished memories while raising their family.
Judith was happiest when surrounded by those she loved most. She treasured spending time with her grandchildren and family, and her home was often filled with laughter from board games, card games and joyful gatherings. She had a warm and welcoming spirit, loved being around people and had a special way of making everyone feel at home in her presence.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, Rick Massie and Alan Massie; her brother-in-law, William Nemcik; and her niece, Amy Turek.
Left to cherish Judith’s memory are her devoted husband of 52 years, Joseph H. Mills; her loving children, Kristina “Krissy” (Joseph) Yako and William “Billy” Mills; her beloved grandchildren, Nickolas Yako and Natalie Yako; and her sisters, Janice “Jan” Nemcik and Laura “Babe” Cash; along with many extended family members and friends who will deeply miss her.
Per Judith’s wishes, a celebration of life will take place at a later date.
The family is in the care of Lane Funeral Home, Roberts-Clark Chapel. Online condolences may be shared at www.lanefuneralhomes.com.
