Judy Russ

Judy Russ is a 37-year-old mother from East Greenbush, New York, who recently gained recognition for donating her family's 23-meter tall Norwegian spruce tree to be the iconic Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. This gesture holds special significance for her as it honors her late husband, Dan Russ, and reflects her family's love for the Christmas season. Judy and her 7-year-old son, Liam, plan to return to Rockefeller Center for the tree lighting ceremony, marking a heartfelt tribute to their family traditions.
