Judy L. Muntean

Judy Lynn Muntean began her journey to Heaven on Tuesday, November 21, 2012 from Riverside Methodist Hospital following a brief and unexpected illness. Judy was born in Lima, Ohio to Dan and Mary Davis. She graduated from Elida High School in 1981 and received her BSBA from Ohio Northern University in 1985. Judy met Nick Muntean at ONU and they were married in 1985, beginning their 27 year love story. The couple was blessed with daughter Nicole in 1991 and son Matthew in 1994. The family spent 23 of their 27 years in Central Ohio, residing in Dublin and Powell. Judy worked in Finance and Systems at Lazarus Department Stores and Banc One. From 1995-2000 Nick’s job with Nationwide Insurance took the family to San Antonio, Texas. Shortly after returning to Ohio, Judy discovered her true calling working in the Olentangy Local Schools. She served as an aid for Wyandot Run Elementary School and later helped open Hyatts Middle School as the Building Secretary. The staff and children of the schools became her second family and she cared for them with an abundance of joy and efficiency. Outside of school, Judy’s life revolved around her friends and family and a majority of time was spent at sporting events including soccer tournaments and Liberty softball, football and basketball games. Waiting for Judy in Heaven are her parents Dan and Mary and Nick’s parents Nick, Sr. and Joanne Muntean.
