lovelyh obituary from the Cape Cod Chronicle:
Judith Sharon Winters
April 29, 2026
Judith Sharon Winters, a longtime resident of the Chatham-Harwich area, passed away at Cape Cod Hospital on April 22, with her son Dan Clem and daughter-in-law Michelle Cho by her side. Her passing ended an arduous three-month journey: an unobserved fall at home, a life-saving ER visit, a lengthy rehabilitation stay at Liberty Commons in Chatham, multiple trips to the hospital, hip surgery, and reconnaissance trips to assisted living facilities on and off the Cape. After three months of both progress and setbacks, she suddenly went into heart failure and passed soon thereafter. She was 81.
Judith loved this part of the Cape. She first stayed in Chatham in the early '80s with her husband Stephen Clem and their two sons, Adam and Daniel, mostly at the Horne cottages just south of Lighthouse Beach. The whole family quickly grew to love Chatham and tried to get there for at least two weeks a year from 1980 through 1993, mostly to the cottage called Clamshell. In 1994, that love compelled Judith and Stephen to move to the Harbor Coves area of North Chatham after Daniel graduated from high school in Concord, where the family had lived for eight years. Judith put great love and care into making their fixer-upper house into a true home among the pitch pines and sandy soil, with gardening being her pride and joy. The family embraced nearby Pleasant Bay through kayaking and fishing, and Judith became adept raking for littlenecks near Morris Island. After Stephen and Judith ended their marriage in the early 2000's, Judith stayed in her cherished home and continued to work on it. She welcomed Adam and Dan home whenever they needed to return to the nest. Later, she took great pleasure in visits by Dan, his wife Michelle, and their two children, Donovan and Eva, whom Judith adored. She loved being a mom and a g

I was very sad to hear about the passing of Judith Winters. While I only knew her from John's chat room, I found her to be a first class person. Some immediate memories come to mid about Judith. One was when she initiated an effort to run for Chatham select person and someone went into her car and shamelessly stole her signs.
On John's site, someone supposedly called her out (and I do remember that someone) suggesting that she could not comment in the chat room any longer because they had learned of her moving from Chatham to Harwich and what was normal for John, he stuck by her indicating that there was no problem with this.
And most of all, with a person whom I never knew, from other than the Chatham Chat Room, Judith on her own time investigated a few properties for me and furnished her opinion which when I got there, I found see she was right on with her thinking.
Judith, you were a fine person in my book, Chatham surely missed a person of your caliber, may you rest in peace
