Judy Ann Liatys, 72, of Yardville, passed away peacefully on Monday, March 16, 2026 at Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia, PA, surrounded by her loving family.
Born in Trenton, she was a lifelong area resident and had called Yardville home for the past 30 years. Earlier in her life, Judy and her husband Ed lived in Germany from 1970 to 1972 while Ed proudly served in the United States Army. Following his honorable discharge, they returned home and settled in Yardville, where they built their life together.
Early in her career, Judy was employed at Tee Cee’s Deli before going on to work at ACME Markets in Yardville, where she dedicated 20 years of service. Known for her kind heart and gentle nature, Judy was truly a sweet and caring soul who always made sure those around her were happy. She consistently put the needs of her loved ones before her own and was happiest when caring for others.
In her spare time, Judy enjoyed playing Bingo, feeding the birds, and spending time with animals of all kinds, which she loved dearly.

Where do I begin? We were best friends I think I spent half of my life at the Kaminsky household. My favorite things were when Mrs. Kaminsky would come home from work with all the donuts the cakes and the goodies.!!
Judy and I did everything together for so many years we spent the night at each other’s houses laughed a lot. She was soft spoken like her mom.
Sweet, kind, caring, loving, funny.
My deepest condolence to her family and her friends she will surely be missed.
I saw her at least once a week at the Acme hey Jude, hi gail how are you? We’d catch up briefly on the family. She was always a pleasure.
She sur…
Judy, thank you for all the amazing memories from ACME. It was never a bad day if I was working with you. You helped me through my first heartbreak and never failed to talk to me if I needed someone to listen. I’ve never met someone as beautiful inside and out. You always believed in me and encouraged me through the hard days during college, and even the good days. You made my experience working at ACME feel like home. I truly love you as a dear friend. I’ll miss seeing your beautiful face and warm smile. Rest in paradise, Judy. Sleep well. ❤️
We lived in Germany 50 years ago where we met Judy and Ed. We became good friends over there being from Jersey. Judy was pretty and fashionable with her white gogo boots and long black hair. The 70's had the best music and Judy loved to dance! Great memories! We did visit when Ed Jr was 2. Rest in peace beautiful. We will never forget you. Dot and Frank Scuorzo
