Judy J. Higgins

Judy J. Higgins, 74, longtime resident of Wilton, NH, died on March 28, 2024, at the St. Joseph Hospital, Nashua, NH after a period of declining health.

She was born on January 17, 1950, in Nashua, NH, a daughter of the late Lucien and Ruth (Cummings) Forcier.

Judy is survived by her husband, Randy Bacci always by her side to find the best doctors. She is also survived by her caretakers, sister Sally and brother-in-law Frank Clay. Also survived by nephew Brian Courtemanche and his wife Heather. Judy adored her grandnephew Austin and grandniece Kyra Courtemanche. Judy is survived by many cousins.

It took a village to help care for Judy during this difficult time. Among Judy’s lifelong friends were Gail and Howie Anderson and their wonderful children, Ryan, Sean, Mark, whom always called her Aunt and called her to show support in her time of need.

We would like to thank close friends Chuck and Nadine who were very helpful to Judy and Randy, visiting, taking to her appointments and showing support and love before and during her illness. Ron Post was also a big part of Judy’s family and a true friend to her. Louise and Kevin were also loyal supporters, providing rides and friendship unconditionally. Holly and Tom who were her dear neighbors checked on Judy and Randy regularly to see if they needed anything.

Judy was a motorcycle enthusiast from an early age, whether riding or driving. She and Randy shared many happy days all over the country on their Harley. While vacationing at Cape Cod, their happy place, they created many memories and wonderful friends.

We would like to thank the amazing oncology team at St. Joseph Hospital for treating us like family. Larida, Anna, Dr. Bhatt, you rock!
