Judith Ann Lecklider

Judith Ann Lecklider, 78, of Nashua, New Hampshire, passed away peacefully on January 13, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

Judy was born on April 21, 1947, in Dayton, Ohio, to Evelyn and William Clark. Her life was firmly rooted in faith, family, and service to others.

A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, Judy dedicated her entire life to her walk with Jesus Christ. Her faith guided every aspect of her life and was evident in the love, kindness, and selflessness she showed to everyone she encountered. She consistently put the needs of her family before her own and found her greatest joy in caring for those she loved.

Judy was an active and cherished member of Grace Lutheran Church in Nashua, where her faith community meant so much to her. She loved volunteering with the YMCA of Greater Nashua, where she was awarded Program Volunteer of the Year in 2022. She was also well known for her deep love of animals–especially her dogs–whom she adored through daily walks and exercise. She enjoyed staying active, spending time outdoors; and making treasured memories at the family’s Cape Cod cottage in Falmouth, a place that held a special place in her heart.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Robert Wayne Lecklider; her sons, Thomas Vernon Lecklider and Aaron Stratton Lecklider (Brian Halley); her daughter-in-law, Rebecca Graham Lecklider; and her cherished granddaughters, Cara Paige Lecklider, Jenna Grace Lecklider, and Molly Graham Lecklider. She is also survived by extended family (including the Smith family and Joan Scott) and many dear friends who will miss her deeply.

Judy was preceded in death by her parents and brother Bill.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Grace Lutheran Church in Nashua, New Hampshire, at 11:00 a.m. on January 24, 2026.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Judy’s memory to Grace Lutheran Church (Nashua, NH) or The YMCA of Greater Nashua
