Mark Coldiron, of New London, died November 11, 2025 after battling a number of chronic health complications over the past several years. He was 65.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Guy Coldiron, and father, Robert Eugene Coldiron. Mark is survived by his mother, Mary Ann Coldiron; sisters, Holly Kornberg and Heather Coldiron; and nieces and nephews, Maggie Kornberg, Bailey Woodruff, Jake Woodruff, Sarah Kornberg, and Charlie Woodruff. 

Born on May 15, 1965, Mark was the eldest of his siblings. He grew up in New London and spent much of his youth golfing. 

Mark began working at the Red Rose Inn in the 1980s, starting a long, committed career in the restaurant industry. In the latter part of his career, Mark was a well-known face, friend, and staff member and bar manager of Steak & Main in Northeast, Md. 

Mark’s family and friends will remember him for his strong will, his even stronger tastes in books and food, and his willingness to listen, even if he didn’t have much to say. Many will remember Mark’s signature chocolate chip cookies, his way of expressing his love, appreciation and gratitude when he didn't have the words.

Judy Ellen McMahan

Judy Ellen McMahan, 68, of Kirkwood, Pa., passed away while surrounded by loved ones on Nov. 13, 2025.

Judy was born in Boone, North Carolina on Feb. 28, 1957 to Billy and Pauline McMahan. 

She traveled many states with family in her early years, and completed her high school education in Pennsylvania. She worked for CDS Analytical and Dynatherm for over 30 years, while raising three beautiful children and several of her grandchildren. She returned to traveling after retirement and enjoyed spending time in places like California, Massachusetts and North Carolina. 

Judy was known for her selfless nature, and devoted much of her life to taking care of her family, her animals, and her garden. She loved listening to music, spending time by the ocean, scrapbooking precious moments with loved ones and, most of all, shopping. She had the ability to fill any room with laughter, and will be remembered by the way she could make even the heaviest hearts feel light again, simply by being herself.

Judy is survived by her mother, Pauline McMahan; her life partner, Robert “Bobby” Rhodes; her daughters, Jolene McMahan, Casey Almanza, and Kassandra “Fru” Almanza; her grandchildren, Sage Martinez, Kalib Culberson, Gunnar Culberson, Clay Dellavecchio, and Macy McBride; her sisters, Toni Moore, Wilma Deutschlander, and Billy Joe Kimes; and her best friend, David Martinez.

Judy is preceded in death by her two brothers, Mose and James McMahan. 

A private service for immediate family will be held, and a celebration of life will be announced at a later date for extended family and friends to gather and honor Judy.

The family would like to express sincere gratitude to her medical staff for the care that Judy received.

For those who wish to express their love, flowers may be sent in her honor, as they are a beautiful way to celebrate the joy she brought to the lives of her family and friends.
