Judith GEORGE Obituary

GEORGE, Judith L. (Keegan) 68, born on January 19, 1949, sadly passed away June 30, 2017. Preceded in death by her parents, James and Doris Keegan. She is survived by her loving husband, Jeffrey and her children, Richard Keegan, Shane George, Maxine George (Maurice Woods) and granddaughter her loving JaNee in Tucson; her sisters, Marian (Larry) Hierholzer, Janice (Ted) Ensley; brothers, James (Rose) Keegan and Jack (Cindy) Cuny and aunt, Violet Shaffer. Judy retired from Hughes Aircraft Company in 1998 as a Facilities Engineer. She was a woman who taught her children the value of hard work, the importance of family and loving with all your heart. In 1997, she took on a new role as a loving and adoring wife. The last years of her life were focused on the love of her beautiful granddaughter, her love of reading and her beloved Detroit Redwings and Lions. She was a down to earth and loving person that touched the hearts and souls of everyone she met. Her infectious smile and loving heart will forever be in our hearts. Per Judy's request there will be no funeral service. However she wanted a Celebration of life to be held at a later date. Family and friends will be notified of the location and date of this gathering. Arrangements by DESERT ROSE HEATHER MORTUARY.
