Judith Van Der Zee

Judith C. Van Der Zee (Napier), 89, of Naples, passed peacefully on April 6, 2021, surrounded by her loving family.

Judith was born in Andover, Mass., and was a graduate of Punchard High School, class of the 49ers. Following graduation, she worked as a bank teller and loved to count money, and collected rare bills and coins she found along the way.

She was a member of Free Christian Church and sang in the choir. She met her husband Robert and a few months later they were wed in August of 1962 at Free Christian Church in Andover. They built a beautiful house on Napier Road and raised two sons and a daughter. The family vacations were always camping at Four Seasons Camping Area, first in a pop-up trailer and then a travel trailer. In 1981, they followed their dream of running a business and purchased Four Seasons. They loved the camping business and made many lasting friendships and memories along the way.

Judith and Robert wintered in Englewood, Fla., for twenty-seven years and enjoyed golfing, bowling, and singing in the chorus. Her hobbies included knitting, watching game shows, doing word jumbles, and going out on Thursdays with the campground ladies.

Judith is predeceased by her beloved husband of 57 years, Robert.

She is survived by three children: Jonathan Van Der Zee and Ellen Brock of Englewood Fla., Andrew Van Der Zee and Bridget Meara of Portland, Me., and Ken and Beth Brown of Naples; grandchildren Christopher Van Der Zee, Amy Walker, Matthew and Meara Van Der Zee, Ryan Baillargeon, Emma, Elijah and Samuel Brown; four great-grandchildren Hudson, Jovie and Sawyer Walker and Ryder Van Der Zee.

The family would like to thank Androscoggin Home Care and Hospice, Home Care for ME personal support services, Elijah Brown and Nina Huff, and First Light Home Care for all their support and wonderful care.
