Judith Farwell (Domina) Dimock Obituary (1939 - 2025)

Madison – Judith Farwell (Domina) Dimock, 85, died peacefully at her home on June 8, 2025. Born on June 28, 1939, in Keene NH, she was the daughter of Alice and Robert Domina. Raised in Amherst, MA, Judy graduated from Amherst High School and attended Simmons College in Boston, where she earned her degree in Physical Therapy. In June 1962, she and Everett Dimock married. While Everett managed apple orchards in the Champlain Valley of NY, Judy worked as a physical therapist in that area. The couple welcomed children Jennifer and Robert to the family, and in 1976, after managing an apple orchard in Bennington VT, Judy and Everett bought Berry Orchards in Madison ME, which they operated as North Star Orchards. Their family farm has been in operation for nearly 50 years. Judy was active in the Madison community, serving on the Madison Area Health Center board for many years, as well as the Redington-Fairview General Hospital board from 1986 to 1998. She was a member of the Maine State Pomological Society and served as secretary of the organization for several years. She also represented the Maine apple industry on the Agricultural Council of Maine and very much enjoyed the friendships she formed there with other agriculture industry leaders. In the words of some special people who knew her, Judy was an astute businesswoman, a lover of gardening, a gourmet cook, avid bird watcher, genealogist, reader and naturalist. She was one of those people who always left you feeling better, even if the conversation was about hard things. No matter what the topic, there were smiles and sparks, humor and insight. Judy is survived by her daughter Jennifer, son Robert and wife Robin, and grandchildren Emma and Nathan. Also surviving are brother Charles Domina and wife Louise, sister-in-law Lois Domina, brother-in-law Stephen Dimock and wife Karen, brother-in-law Arthur Dimock and wife Christine, and their families. She was predeceased by her husband Everett Dimock in 2019, her parents Alice and Robert Domina, as well as a brother, a sister and two nephews. Our family thanks the incredible medical and hospice professionals who became friends in the last few years of Judy’s life. As Judy requested, there will be no service.
