Judith "Judi" Ann Giusto's Obituary
Judith “Judi” Ann Giusto (Martini)
June 3, 1950 – June 17, 2025
With great love and deep sadness, we announce the passing of Judith “Judi” Ann Giusto, beloved mother, Nonnie, sister, and friend. Judi was born on June 3, 1950, in Englewood, New Jersey, to Anthony and Eileen Martini. She grew up with strong family ties, a great work ethic and a heart for serving others that would define the beautiful life she lived.
Judi was the cherished sister of Chuck Martini (78), Karen Longley (70), and the late Darlene, her younger sister who passed in 1965, as well as Richard Martini, who passed in 2006. She was preceded in death by her devoted husband, high school sweetheart, and best friend, Paul Giusto. Judi and Paul were married in 1973 and, just five years later, moved to Florida with only $300 in their pockets, ready to begin a new chapter filled with hope, love, and opportunity.
Together, Judi and Paul fulfilled The American Dream. Prioritizing family first and a “Work Hard, Play Hard” mindset, Judi and Paul modeled goal setting, steady plotting and generosity to their two children: Paul Anthony Giusto (51) (wife, Nicole) and Jamie Giusto Murning (48) (husband, John). Judi’s proudest role was being “Nonnie” to her seven adored grandchildren: Bella (19), Joshua (18), Jake (16), Gabby(16), Paulie (13), Josie (11)and John Peter(9). Her joy and pride in them knew no bounds.
Judi worked in downtown Tampa for 30+ years. She dedicated many of those years as an office manager at Fowler White where her attention to detail, strong work ethic and charity work with organizations like the American Heart Association, Paint Your Heart Out Tampa, and Dress For Success Tampa Bay made a lasting impact.
After retiring in 2012 she poured her energy into what mattered most—making memories with her family. Whether on family vacations, enjoying playing Wordscapes with the grandkids, or hosting a holiday in her home, Judi embraced life with good food, love and laughter.
Judi was a force to be reckoned with. At the same time her smile could light up a room, and her hugs offered a kind of comfort that only she could give. Judi’s legacy is one of strength, love, and unwavering devotion to her family.
