Judith Thelusma passed away on January 16, 2023.

Judith was born on July 6, 1975 to the late Jacques Raymond and Marie Carmen Fleureau. Growing up, Judith was blessed with a large and loving family. At an early age Judith demonstrated a love and capacity for learning by consistently being ranked first in her class every semester.

Judith spent her childhood with her family during which time Judith and her brother Ronald were inseparable. At the age of 9 Judith and her family traveled to the United States landing in Florida. After several months living in Florida, the family decided to move to Boston MA, where Judith and her family established a home base. In Boston, Judith continued her education graduating from middle school in 1989. Upon graduating from middle school, Judith entered high school at West Roxbury High. There, Judith made many friends and was adored by all who had the opportunity to interact with her. While attending West Roxbury High, Judith made a lifelong friend who was also her namesake. Her friend, Judith, later became her child’s godmother when she gave birth.

In 1993 Judith graduated from high school and proceeded to further her education at Quincy College. Judith was steadfast in her love for her family, especially her mother at whose side she was a constant fixture. Through the years, Judith held several jobs but ultimately found her calling/dream job at the Boston Public Library. At the library, Judith found a serene peace that she thoroughly enjoyed and increasingly spent more time there and ultimately determined to make a career of being a librarian.

During the years that Judith worked at the library, she developed many friendships, not only amongst her colleagues but with many of the people who frequented at the library. These friendships developed out of her great ability to listen to others and take interest in their stories.

A supremely personable individual, always with a smile on her face. On December 2007, Judith met her husband Colbert Thelusma, and they quickly formed a unique and enduring bond. They married on March 14, 2008. As a result of that union, Judith gave birth to their “love triplets:” Julianna, Julienne and Colbert, Jr. on December 24,2010. The birth of her children added a dimension to Judith’s life and brought her immeasurable joy. She doted on her children's’ every need and want, and was the consummate mother and wife. Judith loved her family beyond measure and was always there when called upon by family and/or friends.

Judith’s life was bigger than her death consequently let us not dwell in sadness as we celebrate her life. She lived her life in sacrifice to all those that she came in contact with, especially her family. Judith life will live on through her family, friends, her husband and ultimately her children.
