A native of Carteret County, Judy was born in Morehead City on October 29, 1946. Judy was in the first graduating class of West Carteret High School, Class of 1965. She graduated from East Carolina University with a degree in chemistry. After graduation, Judy worked in medical research at UNC-Chapel Hill where she met her devoted husband, Joe. In 1974, they moved to Pittsburgh, PA for Joe to receive further medical training in Ophthalmology. Their first two daughters, Martza and Sonja, were born in Pittsburgh.

In 1978, they returned to the Crystal Coast to open a medical practice and complete their family with the birth of their third daughter, Sarah, on March 3, 1980 in the midst of that historic blizzard. Judy began her career in wastewater treatment in Morehead City and advanced to plant manager for Beaufort and later New Bern, where she worked 17 years prior to retirement in 2015.

Judy was a member of First Baptist Church in Morehead City. She loved the Lord with a passion for scripture and Bible study. One calling led to facilitating the continuous reading through the Bible in the church sanctuary, which was completed in less than four days. Those that know Judy, witnessed her love for gardening, and likely enjoyed the bounty of her cooking and entertaining.  She hated to leave Pittsburgh because they also know her love for the Steelers. Judy also treasured all of her many pets and grandpets.

She is survived by her husband, Joseph Majstoravich of the home; daughters, Martza Jo Majstoravich of Morehead City, Sonja Jo Majstoravich of Concord, MA, and Sarah Jo Majstoravich of Wilmington; sister, Joe Ann Mason of Deerfield Beach, FL; grandchildren, Francisco “IKO” Aguirre-Majstoravich and Stella Marie McCarthy; nephews, Manly Mason of Beaufort, Richard Mason of Deerfield Beach, FL and John Roberts of New Bern.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Margaret Roberts, and brother, Derl Grey Roberts.

The family will receive friends from 1 p.m. until 2 p.m. on Thursday, April 22, 2021, at First Baptist Church. Same safety guidelines will be followed.

Flowers are welcome, or memorial donations in memory of Judy may be made to First Baptist Church, 810 Bridges St, Morehead City, NC.
