Judith (Pettingell) Desautell

Judith (Pettingell) Desautell, 66, of East Hartford, (formerly of Manchester) passed away on March 27, 2012, at her home. She was born August 14,1945, in Columbus Ohio, and was the daughter of Frank and Margaret Pettingell. She was a graduate of the University of Maine at Orono and a former Elementary School teacher. Judith leaves behind her daughter Courtney (Desautell) Gagne and her husband Douglas Gagne, and her two Grandsons, James and Miles Gagne of East Haddam; as well as her brother, Dana Pettingell and his wife Peggy of Hillsborough, NJ. She also leaves many close friends. She was predeceased by her parents and daughter Suzanne (Desautell) Labbe.

Judith fought a long battle with Hereditary Spastic Parapalegia and because of her special needs, became a strong advocate for the rights of people dealing with the Probate Courts. She was a member of the North United Methodist Church in Manchester for more than 40 years and leaves many special friends from the church. She was a cat lover and rescued many cats throughout her adult life which brought her much happiness.

A memorial service will be at North United Methodist Church, 300 Parker Street in Manchester, CT on Friday, April 20th, 2012 at 6:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Protectors of Animals P.O. Box 24 South Glastonbury, CT 06073 or online at poainc.org.
