Obituary of Judith Stephanie LePage

Judith Stephanie LePage, 75, of Howell passed away on Monday, May 11, 2026, at Ocean Medical Center, Brick Township with her son, Justin by her side.  She was born and raised in Elizabeth and had lived in California and Matawan before settling in Howell 24 years ago. Judith had a deep appreciation for the outdoors, finding great peace in her backyard while tending to her flowers and bird feeders. She was also a true wine connoisseur who took great pleasure in cooking favorite meals and pairing them with fine wines. While she enjoyed her time watching QVC, her greatest source of pride was her granddaughters.
