Judith “Judy” Margaret Cotter, 75 of Charlotte Hall, MD passed away peacefully at MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital on February 22, 2020. Judy was born on April 5, 1944 in Leittstown, Pennsylvania, to the late Harry E. Rutt and Margaret Erline Rutt. Judy married her love, Walter Cotter, Sr. and they lived a blessed life together before his passing. They welcomed one son, Walter “Chippy” Owen Cotter, Jr. She was a wonderful woman who loved her family. A natural caregiver, she worked for many years helping others. An avid sports fan, Judy loved her Washington Redskins and could spend hours watching any sport on the television. A favorite was Nascar races. It never took much to convince Judy to sit down for a game of cards. She would laugh and do her best to distract you to win. To know Judy was to know a kind, loving, energetic soul. Memories of her inherent joy will last a lifetime for her family. Remember Judy for her joy, her smile and her laughter. Judy is survived by her son, Walter “Chippy” Owen Cotter, Jr. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband and brother, William “Bill” Rutt.
