Judith Lynne Bauersfeld, PhD

Judith Lynne Bauersfeld, PhD of Ridgefield , CT, formerly of Scottsdale, Arizona and Pittsburgh, PA passed away peacefully on April 1, 2020 after more than a decade long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease and recently contracted the Covid 19 virus which ultimately took her life. She was married for 34 years to the late S. Richard Bauersfeld, MD, who passed in 2009. Born May 16, 1944 Judy was the only child of Evelyn and Eugene Moss of McKeesport , PA. She always described her childhood in the most positive ways and enjoyed a tight knit community of friends and extended family throughout her years in McKeesport. She attended Penn State and then the University of Pittsburgh where she eventually earned her doctoral degree in Public Health and Social Work; an accomplishment for which she was extremely proud. She began the Pittsburgh Center for Step-Families where she counseled families through the process of becoming a step-family. She was always a hard working and determined professional who eventually worked in Executive positions for organizations including The Make a Wish Foundation and Phoenix Memorial Hospital.
