Judith A. DeFeo, 77, of New Holland, passed away on May 23, 2026, at PennMedicine Lancaster General Hospital. Judith was born in Glen Ridge, NJ, to her late parents, Joseph R. Kapp, Jr. and Maria (Hall) Kapp. Her loving husband, George M. DeFeo, survives at home.
Judith was a beautiful woman with a captivating smile and an enormous heart. She was a devoted friend with a spirit of volunteerism. She enjoyed being surrounded by her friends, hosting parties and dinners, playing Scrabble, and living her life to the fullest.
