AUBURN – Judith E. May, 64, a resident of 1875 Minot Ave., died peacefully early Saturday morning, Aug. 19, at home with her family by her side.

After retirement, she enjoyed her camp in Carthage, and her dog “Molly.” All will remember her great sense of humor, as well as the poetry she wrote for her family to enjoy. It meant so much to her to be with family and her grandchildren.
