Dorothy Judd Obituary

Dorothy Gene Vermillion Judd, 91

Dorothy loved to have fun. Bowling, Bunko, Bingo, Casinos. She loved to have and go to parties. She was my mother and best friend. We laughed a lot when we were together. We would get so silly that my dad would roll his eyes and shake his head. We did not care one bit.

My mom was one of 7 children, she was born and grew up in Keokuk Iowa. She happily moved to California and met my dad, Wally Judd. They were married 6 months after they met and were married for 62 years. I am the oldest of 3, then Lynn, who lives in Reno with her husband and Kris, who lives in Coeur d'Alene.

I moved to Utah in October of 2022 and my mom was not happy about it. My daughter in law asked my husband, Kyle, and I to move to be near her and the grandkids. We have enjoyed it but I missed my mom. My Aunt Trudy was living with my mom and so I moved them both down to Utah to be near me and my grands.

My mom had a lung condition that wore her out. She got better and then not so much and then kind of better again. Well, on Christmas day, she was very weak and had trouble catching her breath. We went to the emergency room and they got a bed for her to try to help. I guess she was just so tired of being sick and tired. I was with her this morning as she passed on, to go to heaven. I will not be sad for her, she is with Jesus and loved ones. I will miss her everyday. I still can't believe she is not here anymore. Thank you Lord for blessing me with such a wonderful mother and very best partner in crime.

Love, Carole
