Judy was born October 2nd,1947 and passed peacefully on October 7th, 2025. For those that don’t know I’m Don Brown, Judy’s husband. She didn’t have many friends and was not easy to get along with, but she was loved by all who entered her circle.

Every love story has a beginning; mine was with Judy, my beautiful wife of more than 20 years. She was my love and my light. Together we built a wonderful life filled with laughter, love and challenges we overcame together; it was a love that grew stronger with time.

Judy’s life and what she means to me -- there are no words. She was a wonderful woman from the moment we met to her last days, even in pain she would keep me strong. Judy told me it’s okay to be sad but she wants me to be happy for the rest of my life. She showed how stubborn and strong she was by holding on so long. Judy was there for me through dark nights and tears. She showed me how much I meant to her and took care of me in my hardest days. She held on for me even when she just wanted to sleep.

Judy always could brighten my day with her laugh and warmth. She had the best laugh and jokes around; I’m grateful to have been with her and care for her like she did for me throughout our life together. I am better for having been with her, it wasn’t nearly long enough. I miss and love her so much and always will. She leaves behind sons: Wayne and Steve Gibson, daughter Christy Curette and four grandchildren; five great-grandchildren and my children, Don Jr., Danyel Torry and Chris and their children, seven grandkids she loved all as hers own. Special thanks to Chad and Desiree Smalley for all their help and love.
