Judy Walls
September 21, 1949 - April 27, 2025
Judy Walls, age 75, of Townsend, DE, passed away on Sunday, April 27, 2025.
Born in Philadelphia, PA on September 21, 1949, she was a daughter of the late Levin and Mary (McGraft) Walls. Judy was a graduate of Archbishop Prendergast High School in Delaware County, PA, and later attended Peirce College in Philadelphia, PA. She made her career in design, working for Macy’s and Strawbridge and Clothier. In addition to her work, Judy was a proud and supportive military spouse.
Judy’s favorite place to unwind was at the beach; she would spend the entire day sitting in the sand and listening to the ocean. She also loved going out to eat, and was the happiest when she was dining at restaurants at the beach. Judy could often be found sitting on her deck listening to music. She enjoyed doting on her rescue dogs, Woody and Mazie, and cared for her dogs, Cosmo and George, until their passing. Judy had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh, whether she was joking around or watching a comedy. She will always be remembered for her vivacious spirit.
Judy is survived by her loving husband of 33 years, SMSgt Roger J. Maldonado (USAF) (Ret.); brother, Jerry Walls; and uncles, Charles McGraft and Francis McGraft (Theresa).
All services will be held privately.

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Mrs Judy. I always looked forward to having her rescue puppies on my grooming schedule. She would come in and our conversations would pick up right where they left off. Her sense of humor and kind nature will be dearly missed. Sending love and condolences to Roger, Woody, Mazie and her family.
