Judith Brines

Judith Ann Brines, 65 formerly of Jeannette passed away on 6/10/09 in New Jersey. On the longest day of the year, June 21, 1943, the world was blessed with the birth of one special lady- Judith Ann Toth. She was the daughter of Joseph and Anna Toth of Jeannette, PA. Judy passed into God's hands June 10th after a valiant ten year battle against cancer. She fought with vigor and always had a smile on her face. Judy birthed two sons, Todd Shevchik of Lexington, SC and Craig Shevchik of Greensburg, with her first husband Millan Charles Shevchik Jr. and has five grandchildren: Joey, Jenna, Luke, Noah and Anna, that were fortunate to call her Grandma. She has been married to Robert Brines of Berlin, NJ for the last 15 years and has a step-daughter Sara. Bob Brines described the essence of Judy when he said that she made him a better person. God's gift to Judy was that she made you want to become better. She loved to laugh and was extremely fun to be around. She is also survived by her brother David and his wife Holly Toth of Statesville, NC., a niece, Paula Biggie and her husband Chris of Youngwood, PA and their 3 children, Sheri, Stephanie and Lance, as well as her nephew, Brian Toth.
