Judith Ann Collier Pandich passed away peacefully on December 29, 2024, in Marietta, Georgia, at the age of 92. She was born on March 13, 1932, in Binghamton, New York, to Homer and Elizabeth (Schlauder) Collier.

Judy graduated from Katharine Gibbs College in Boston, MA, and moved back to Binghamton where she met and married the love of her life, Michael F. Pandich, on December 26, 1954. Together, they moved to Raleigh, NC, in 1965, where they raised their family. Judy later worked for H&R Block for 20 years as a tax preparer, a job she truly enjoyed.

Judy was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She had a strong faith and found her greatest joy in helping and supporting her family and others. Judy and Michael celebrated 65 years of marriage in 2019, a testament to their enduring love.

Judy was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Michael Fabian Pandich; her parents, Homer and Elizabeth (Schlauder) Collier; and her sisters, Janice Pandich and Joan Collier.

She is survived by her children: Beth Bumgardner, Michael F. Pandich, Jr. (Laura), and Laurie Genevish; her grandchildren: Christopher Bumgardner, Heather Gordon (Nathan), Michael Pandich (Emily), Taylor Brossman (Curt), Donnie Genevish, and Thomas Genevish; and seven great-grandchildren.

The family will hold a private Celebration of Life at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Judy's favorite charity:
