Obituary
Judy Lynn Zuccala, age 75 of Goodyear, AZ died February 4, 2020 in Goodyear, AZ. She was born July 8, 1944 and raised on a farm in Akron, IA. She worked in the airline industry for over 30 years where she had the responsibility of managing the weight and balance of the aircraft. She was hired by TWA and retired from American Airlines. Her husband, Ken Ridgway also worked for the airlines as a pilot and they retired together to the PebbleCreek community in Arizona.
When Ken passed away not long after retirement, Judy found friendship and a rich social life in her community. She was a member of Lunch Bunch 2, and met for lunch with the group for 21 years. She loved to sing (her license plate was NTEMAME) and was a member of the PebbleCreek Singers. She was a member of the Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church for over 20 years and faithfully sang in the choir and enriched the congregation.
Judy liked to sail and met her next husband, Joe through a sailing group. Together they sailed through the Sea of Cortez, the British Virgin Isles, and from the Winward Islands down to the tip of Granada.
Judy is survived by her husband, Joe Zuccala, her brother Gaynor Klemme, and several step-grandchildren. Condolences for the family may be left below.

It seems to little to say sorry for your loss. I know you had good times together so remember the best.

Joe,
Condolences.
Please feel comfortable reaching out to me or others for food for the first week. It is a Jewish practice. You should not have to prepare food for yourself for a full week.
Greg

Joe,
We along with the rest of the LPSC family of sailors were shocked and saddened upon hearing the news of Judy’s passing. Speaking for myself & my wife Helen (who was widowed before we met), we didn’t get a chance to know Judy that all that well but she seemed like a nice lady & the two of you seemed a happy couple.
Along the shore I spy a ship As she set out to sea;
She spreads her sails and sniffs the breeze
And slips away from me.
I watch her fading image shrink,
As she moves on and on,
Until at last she’s but a speck,
Then someone says, “She’s gone.”
Gone where? Gone only form our sight
And from our farewell cries;
That ship will somewhere reappear to other eager eyes.
Beyond the dim horizon’s rim, resound the welcome drums,
And while we’re crying, There she goes!
They’re shouting, Here she comes!
We’re built to cruise for but a while
Upon the trackless sea
Until one day we sail away into infinity.
John T. Baker
Please accept our sincere condolences.

Joe, you had too short a time with Judy here on earth but you will see her again. I am so sad knowing that she no longer walks this earth. I loved her dearly.
