SALEM TOWNSHIP – Judith Louise Coburn, 70, of Salem Township, lovingly known as “Nana,” a title she wore proudly, died unexpectedly of natural causes in the comfort of her own home on Friday, March 10, 2017.

She was an avid reader and would often read a book a day. In her free time, she enjoyed traveling with family and friends and always enjoyed riding and shopping. Her family was her priority and her legacy is the memory of being a Family Matriarch, described by her daughters as “the hub to our spokes” and described by her beloved husband, Paul, whom she married on Dec. 11, 1976 in Melrose, Mass., as the “most caring person.”
