Judith Gray Adolphson

A Tribute to Judith Gray Adolphson Judith "Judi" Gray Adolphson, 76, peacefully departed this world on April 30, 2024, having suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease for the past several years. Judi was born in Medford, MA on October 19, 1947, daughter of the late Gerald and Nancy (Brown) Gray. Judi grew up in Lexington, MA, where she attended public schools and graduated from Lexington High School in 1965. She then went on to attend Green Mountain College in Poultney VT, graduating in 1967. Growing up in the 1950’s she loved spending summers with her family at The Farm in East Andover NH, swimming in Highland Lake, climbing Mount Kearsarge, picking blueberries, and attending parades and fireworks celebrations on the 4th of July. Judi was married in 1972 and lived in West Newbury, MA for over 40 years, where she and her husband lovingly restored an 1846 Greek Revival Home. She was a passionate and devoted lover of all dogs and reveled in the time she spent with her two yellow labs, Letty and Callie, and later in life, her “grand dog” Lulu. Judi worked for a number of years in the Boston area, at Spaulding & Slye and Fidelity Investments. She thrived on being the “go-to” person in the office, and supporting her co-workers with a smile or a fix of the printer. Over the years, she enjoyed researching family history and especially enjoyed old family photographs. Following the example of her mother, Judi was the best friend one could ask for, always remembering birthdays and anniversaries, and being there with a card or a phone call for all the happy and tough times that life brings. She also enjoyed being a Girl Scout troop leader, sewing, and volunteering. Most of all, she loved raising and spending time with her daughter Lucy and for the past 3 years, she has lived at an assisted living facility in Portland ME, just minutes away from Lucy, Alban, and Lulu. Judi is predeceased by her husband of 44 years, Steven Adolphson. She is survived by her loving daughter, Lucy Caroline Mitima and her husband Alban of Portland; devoted big brother, Herbert Gray and his wife Vicky of Vero Beach, FL; and Ruth I’Anson of Nashua, NH, a true friend and a pillar of support for many years.
