Judith Gubler Obituary

Judith Amy Gubler, born November 1, 1938, to Floyd Kneeland and Lillian Wareham, passed from this Earth on Tuesday October 7, 2025. She was loved by many and will be missed by all who knew her.
Judith was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She was always faithful in every calling and served as many as she could through out her years. Judith served several adult missions including a mission in Bulgaria teaching English and a Family History Service Mission in Cedar City, UT. She was one of the first missionaries in Bulgaria and she developed a fierce love for the people there. Judith's love for her mission inspired her to sponsor several young ladies to come to the US to continue their education. All of them were very successful in their education and lives.
Judith always understood the importance of family, leading her to promote the adoption of children from Bulgaria to the US so they could feel the same love that Judith felt for her family. This understanding also led her to the countless hours spent working on genealogy. Judith loved the work she put forth to learn more about her ancestors. She had an immense, overpowering love for her family. They meant everything to her.
Throughout her life, Judith loved learning and education. She obtained two Master's Degrees, one in Music and the other in Special Education. Judith taught high school and many other types of classes and was very active in the music program. Being with the students was a joy and a privilege for Judith and she truly loved each one of them, and they loved her just as much. Judith had many accomplishments over the years including serving as the main organizer for the LDS Pageant at the Manti Temple. Judith also starred as an angel in Saturday's Warrior in 1989.
Judith had a passion for service. After retiring she volunteered at the Gunnison County Jail. Judith taught the inmates about the church, how to crochet, and offered encouragement at the lowest point of their lives. She had a love for God, people, and tending to the beautiful plants in her garden.
Judith is survived by her brother Bruce, her children Keith (Susan), Carrie (Robert), Bryce (Carolyn), Rick (Lisa), 13 grandchildren, and 22 great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents Floyd Cassius Kneeland and Lilliam Adams Wareham, her siblings Richard, Steve, Nancy Robinson, and Faith Bitterolf, her grandparents Cassius, Florence, Frederick, and Amy, and a great-grandchild Ashton James Reich.
