Judith Arlene Alpert (née Fleisher, formerly Natanson)
Judith “Judy” Arlene Alpert, born Judith Arlene Fleisher on May 28, 1944, in Boston, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on October 31, 2025, at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, surrounded by her large and loving family.
The daughter of the late Harry and Lillian Fleisher and sister to the late Phillip Fleisher, Judy was a Boston native whose warmth, humor, and unmistakable presence lit up every room she entered. She was first married to Sidney Natanson for 38 years, with whom she shared many memories and raised her three beloved daughters. Later, she found lasting love and companionship with her husband, Kenneth Alpert, with whom she shared 19 joyful years.
Judy was the devoted mother of Sue Braverman (and her husband Alex), Ivy Natanson, and Amy Sack. She was also the adoring grandmother of Rebecca Davidson (and her husband Scott), Matthew Braverman (and his wife Ashley), Jeffrey Braverman, Jake Braverman, Richard Boran, Samuel Sack, and Sydney Sack – and a proud great-grandmother to Cara, Jaxon, and Emma Braverman, and Lily, Harry, and Charlie Davidson. She cherished her friends and cousins, Stanley and Lisa Litchman, with whom she shared a special bond. She was also sister-in-law to Mark Alpert, and stepmother to the late David Alpert, Elizabeth Lauzon (and her husband, Scott), and Scott Alpert.
The matriarch of a close-knit and loving family, Judy was the glue that held everyone together. Family was her world, and she never missed a chance to celebrate, connect, and make her loved ones feel cherished. She was always at the center of the action – vibrant, social, and fashionable, with a flair for doing things her own way. Whether she was hosting a family gathering, playing Mahjong with her friends, or enjoying a good meal and conversation with her loved ones, Judy brought life and laughter wherever she went.
Judy will be lovingly remembered for her warmth, strength, and devotion – a woman who lived fully, loved deeply, and made sure those around her did too. Judy had a natural charm that drew people in, and she made fast friends wherever she went. Her legacy of love, style, and spirit and her endless amount of stories will continue to inspire her family and all who were lucky enough to know her.
A funeral service will be held at Temple Beth Elohim, 10 Bethel Road, Wellesley, Massachusetts, on Monday, November 3rd at 11:00 a.m. Interment will follow at Sharon Memorial Park.
Shiva will be observed at the home of Sue and Alex Braverman, Monday following interment and Tuesday from 4-8 pm.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made in Judith’s memory to the American Heart Association.
