July 29, 1950 — November 27, 2024
Judy Louise Bahnson, 74, passed away peacefully in her home on Friday,
November 22, 2024 after a truly brave and gracious battle with cancer. Born on
July 29, 1950 in Waco. TX, Judy spent her formative years in Japan, fostering a
lifelong love of international cuisine and exploration. She travelled extensively
throughout her life, ultimately making her home in Advance, North Carolina,
where she created a space of beauty and warmth.
Judy graduated from Salem College in 1987 and pursued graduate studies at
North Carolina State University. In 1986, she joined the Wake Forest University
School of Medicine, where she made significant contributions first in oncology
and later in public health sciences. Over her distinguished career, she held
leadership roles in numerous groundbreaking clinical trials and collaborated with hundreds of investigators
across the nation. Her work, reflected in over 100 biomedical publications, advanced understanding and
treatment of diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and cancer prevention. She continued conducting medical research
until her cancer diagnosis and retirement in 2023. In 2024 she was honored by the Wake Forest University
Division of Public Flealth Sciences Mentoring Award for her decades-long commitment to mentoring early-
career faculty and staff
Judy was passionate about so much, gardening, pottery, cooking, reading, politics, and. most of all, the company
of her cherished family and friends—especially her beloved granddaughters, Rye and Lou. A marvelous
gardener, Judy shared her artful flower arrangements displayed in her wondrous pottery creations with friends,
colleagues, and neighbors. Hosting so many dinners in her eloquent dining room, her garden pergola, or her
deck porch, Judy would gather together diverse groups of people and spark enduring friendships. Guests never
left without treasures—leftovers, pottery, book recommendations, vegetables and flowers from her garden, and
fond memories of her generosity, wit, and warmth.
Judy is survived b>" her two sons. Jimmy Bozarth and Tee Bahnson. and her two granddaughters. Rye and Lou
Bahnson. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Ted Bahnson. Judy leaves behind a legacy of
kindness, creativity, and dedication to making the world a better place, both through her work and her loving
relationships.
The family warmly in\'ites all who knew and lo\'ed Jud>' to gather Ibr a Celebration of Life to be held on
Saturday, November 30th from 5:00 to 8:00 at the WinMock Barn at Kinderton, 168 E. Kinderton Way.
Bermuda Run. True to Judy's \ ibrant spirit, we ask guests to dress in cheerful colors—bold, bright, and
beautiful—because this is a celebration, not a farewell. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to:

Nina Victoria Zito VanValkenburg
December 23, 1930 - December 2. 2024
Nina Victoria Zito VanValkenburg, age 93, of Mocksville, peacefully passed
away on Monday, December 2,2024, in the privacy and comfort of her North
Carolina home. Her passing leaves a void in the hearts of family and friends.
"When you think of me. think love." This is how our mother, Nina wanted to
be remembered. Her recipe for a peaceful life was that of the love she held
so tightly in her heart for husband, children, grandchildren, great
grandchildren, nieces and nephews, extended family members and friends.
Nina had such unwavering faith in God, grounded in the love of family. She
was motivated and inspired by prayer and making family memories that her
children could carry forward with their own families. Her angels collection
were her pride and joy she felt they protected her home and family. She
believed in miracles, always instilling in her children, "have faith" and
"family is everything."
Some of Nina's favorite pastimes included dancing, bowling, and doing crossword puzzles. Her favorite dances
were the Jitterbug and the Polka. If our parents were not dancing, they were cooking! As children, watching our
parents playfully bicker about who was the better cook was a regular occurrence; our dad's profession was that
of a chef. Growing up in the VanValkenburg household, there were always celebrations, a plethora of food, and
a multitude of family and friends gathered for merriment and laughter.
Nina loved her family beyond measure. She would beam with pride as she shared pictures and milestones of her
family with friends. After the passing of our father. Nina looked at photos and mementos daily. While she had
these keepsakes close to her heart, she longed for days gone by, feeling she did not have enough time with her
beloved Donny.
Born on December 23,1930, Nina was the daughter of the late Concetta LaPuma Zito and Salvatore Zito. Nina
was married to Donald Russell (Donny) VanValkenburg on November 25.1961. Nina and Donny had 5272
blessed years of married life. They lived in Terrace Hill Estates until Donnys passing in 2014.
Nina's academic and career life included attending Frankfort-Schuyler Central Schools, Frankfort, NY, and later
serving as a telephone operator with the New York Telephone Company. She was a former member of the
Telephone Pioneers Club and the llion Moose Lodge.
Nina is survived by her children, daughter, Connie and husband, Frank Castellano; daughter, Donna; son,
Russell and wife Tammy Hazzard VanValkenburg; daughter, Barbara and husband James Gorman; and daughter.
Nancy Grabow and Stephen Frye. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Donald Russell (Donny)
VanValkenburg.
Nina is also survived by many grandchildren, including Frank Castellano III and girlfriend. Christine Rang;
Donald Castellano; Dominic Castellano and girlfriend, Emily Bailey; Tiffany Hazzard; Timothy Hazzard, Jr;
Alex Smith; Brianne (Paul) and husband Jason Rust; Audrie (Gorman) and husband Christopher Rooke; James
Gorman and wife Sydney Gorman; Morgan Gorman; Jaycee Gorman; Josh Humphrey, and Cheyenne
v- i
DAVIE COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY MOCKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA
Humphrey. She is also survived by her great grandchildren; Aarik Castellano; Tatyana Biliingsley; Jacob Rust;
Alani and Kai Rooke; and Aurelia Sifre.
Nina is also survived by sister-in-law, Rosemary Zito (Paul), brother-in-law, Jerry Smith (Shirley), numerous
nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends, too numerous to mention, but precious to her throughout her lifetime.
In addition to being predeceased by beloved husband, Donny, Nina is also predeceased by her parents, Salvatore
and Concetta LaPuma Zito; Donnys parents, Russell and Clarice Morgan VanValkenburg; brother. Jack and
Stephanie Zito; brother, Frank and Mary Zito; brother, Bennie and Jane Zito; brother, Paul Zito (Rosemary);
sister, Mary and Salvatore DiMartin; sister, Grace and Angelo Cardinal; sisters-in-law, Shirley Smith (Jerry);
and Jean VanValkenburg.
Nina and her family wish to thank Ellen Cioch for being so compassionate in her care for Nina while she lived
in her Terrace Hill Estates home. Additionally, while living at Terrace Hill Estates, Nina was very grateful for
her close friends and neighbors who checked in on her regularly and helped her every day. Thank you to Shirley
Luckina and family, Jimmy Dunnevant, Don and Gloria Ames, Sonny Briggs, and Danny O'Donnell, for being
so thoughtful and helpful. Nina's immediate family will gather privately to honor and commemorate her
memory in North Carolina. Her care has been entrusted to Lambert Funeral Home & Cremation Services,
Mocksville, NC. In lieu of flowers, please consider in Nina's honor, a donation to St. Jude Children's Hospital as
she was an avid supporter of this charity. Spring interment will take place at the Jordanville Cemetery with

school events.
