Judy Kramer

Judy Kramer, of Acton, Massachusetts passed away on Thursday, April 2, 2026, surrounded by family and friends. She was 77 years old.

After growing up in Elmont, New York, Judy moved to Boston to attend Simmons College. Through a roommate she met her husband Les, who was attending MIT. They settled in the Boston area where she raised two children and became a life-long Red Sox fan. She devoted much of her life to her love of music, eventually owning the Spectrum Music shop in Lexington, singing in the Heritage Chorale in Framingham for over 50 years, and as the founding choir director at her synagogue in Acton, which she led for over 40 years.

Judy loved nothing more than spending time with her family. She was incredibly proud of her children’s professional accomplishments, and delighted in attending her grandchildren’s celebrations and school events. She enjoyed traveling and spent much of her post-retirement years seeing the world.

Judy is survived by beloved husband of 55 years Les Kramer, her children Rachel (and Lee) Gwaltney and Dan (and Amy) Kramer, her grandchildren Andrew and Emily Kramer, and her countless extended family and friends.

The funeral services will be observed on Monday, April 6, 2026 at 11am at Congregation Beth Elohim, 133 Prospect Street, Acton, MA, followed by interment at Beit Olam Cemetery, 60 Old Sudbury Road, Wayland, MA.

Shiva will be held Monday at 4 pm at Congregation Beth Elohim.
