Judi A. (Rowe) Lizotte, 83, of Knights Pond Road in South Berwick, Maine, left this world peacefully on November 30th, surrounded by the warm affection of her loving family at Pinnacle Health and Rehab facility in North Berwick. Born April 23rd, 1940, to Ruby (Lee) and Vern Rowe in Augusta, Maine, Judi and her four siblings (2 Brothers and 2 Sisters) grew up in nearby Hallowell, Maine. From a young age, Judi became very proud of her Native American Heritage. This lineage would play a significant role in her life's interests, achievements, and unwavering adoration for her family.

In her late teens, Judi fell in love with the blue-collared Larry Lizotte, and the couple established themselves in Southern Maine, first in York, where she grew to love The Nubble Lighthouse, then ultimately settling in South Berwick, where Judi would have the opportunity to embark on her life's greatest achievement; raising her three children. While Larry worked to provide for the family, Judi embraced her role as a Homemaker, ensuring Larry Jr., Joy, and Denis grew up surrounded by the most incredible love a mother could provide.

And although nothing touched Judi's heart quite like her love for family, she also enjoyed being surrounded by nature. Whether Camping and Canoeing the woods of New Hampshire or exploring the Maine Coast from the back of a motorcycle, Judi seized every chance to feel the warm New England sun or embrace the scent of a chilly Autumn Breeze. Even from the armchair of her 5 Knights Pond Road living room, Judi would watch birds (her favorite, the Chickadee) stop and enjoy suet and seed in the triumphant Lilac bush just outside her window. Regardless of season, Judi always surrounded herself with flowers; Yellow Roses were always her favorite, but Lilacs and Black Eyed Susans weren't to be overlooked.

Throughout her later years, that Knights Pond Road living room would become the focal point of many a Lizotte family gathering. Judi may never have been more content than she was with a John Wayne movie on her TV and her four Grandsons playing under her watchful eye. Most fond memories of "Nanny Zotte" will come around the holidays, a time with family, a time she cherished above all others. Often, the festivities would spill over into the kitchen, where Judi was no slouch, dancing around the kitchen to her favorite songs from the '50s and '60s while creating delectable food from scratch for everyone to enjoy. Family time often included a game of cards, where Judi held a perfect record, having never defeated any of her Grandsons, regardless of the game.

Judi also never missed the opportunity to enjoy a conversation over the phone with her nephew Jody Nolan (of Alabama), who predeceased her in 2020 and with whom she always shared an extra special bond.  Additionally, in recent years, you could catch Judi watching NFL football on Sunday afternoons, just anticipating catching a glimpse of #12, "her Tom Brady," whom she adored.

Judi was truly the "last of her generation" as she is now reunited with both of her parents, all four of her siblings, as well as many other loved ones lost along the way. Judi is survived by her legacy; her three children; eldest son Larry Lizotte Jr. of South Berwick, Maine; daughter Joy Lizotte, also of South Berwick; and youngest son Denis Lizotte; and his beloved wife Lori of Eliot, Maine. As well as her four aforementioned Grandsons: Matthew Lizotte and his wife Lana of Lebanon, Maine; Floyd Frost and his wife Jami Lyn of North Berwick, Maine; Travis Lizotte and his Girlfriend Darsy McClain of Cape Neddick, Maine; and Jason Lizotte and his wife Alexandra of Hooksett, New Hampshire. And two Great-Granddaughters, Lydia Lizotte (to Jason and Alexandra) and McKenna Frost (in utero to Floyd and Jami Lyn).

In lieu of flowers, the Lizotte family requests a donation to be made, on Judi's behalf, to either the Pinnacle Health and Rehab facility in North Berwick, Maine, or Berwick Estates Assisted Living Center in South Berwick in thanks to their exceptional treatment during her time at both facilities.
