Obituary for Judith LaPorte

Judith  LaPorte
Judy LaPorte (age 75) passed away at her residence on June 7, 2017.

She was born in Peoria, Illinois on October 6, 1941 to Jane Swords Hailey and Rex Hailey, Sr. They moved to Vero Beach when Judy was a small child and they then returned to Illinois for a few years. Again returning to Vero Beach for the remainder of Judy's life. She attended schools in Vero Beach and graduated from Vero Beach High School.

She began working at Indian River Citrus Bank (now Wells Fargo Bank) when she was 16 years old and remained there for 50 years until she retired.

She is survived by her son, Matthew Todd LaPorte who was the "brightest star" in her life. And as Matt would say, we were " two peas in a pod" enjoying many of the same outings and activities. Matt says that he loved his Mom a lot and is going to really miss her.

Judy is also survived by her two sisters: Jane & Jessica and brother, Rex Hailey, Jr. She was predeceased by her parents, Jane & Rex Hailey, Sr.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations may be made to: The American Cancer Society, St. Jude's Research Hospital, or The American Diabetes Association in memory of Judy.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on June 24th at 2:00 p.m. at St. Helen Catholic Church.
