Judy B. Massa entered heaven's gates on Sunday, September 6, 2020 at the age of 71. She joins her parents, Evert "Dutch" and Madge Guidry Breaux; a brother, Gary Breaux and a sister, Alice Breaux. She was the devoted wife of Rodger R. Massa, Jr. for 51 years and the loving mother of Stephanie Barrette (Will), Christine Bagley and stepmother of Scott Massa . She is also survived by five beautiful grandchildren, Brooke Bagley, Madison Adams, Bryce Bagley, Morgan Adams and Josh Massa; a brother, John Breaux (Janet) and a sister, Madge Cuccia (Floyd).  Judy was born in New Orleans and was a resident of Metairie where she owned and operated The Nail Shoppe from 1983 - 1990. She was an Elvis fanatic and enjoyed spending time with her girls and grandkids, going to the camp in Leeville, dancing and dining out.  Now she is two-stepping with Steve Lavie to Al Dresel's music while drinking her Malibu Rum and pineapple juice.
