Born August 21, 1939 in Sioux City, IA; died December 20, 2021 in Edmonds, WA.
Judith is survived by her daughter Maria Beyer and two sons, Joseph Beyer and Matthew Beyer along with three grandchildren by Matthew: Benjamin, Hannah and Henry Beyer.
After being born to John and Helen Kriss in Sioux City, IA, the Kriss family moved to Seattle, WA where Judy attended a number of Catholic schools resulting in her graduation from Holy Names Academy.
Judy was a life-long learner and reader. She obtained three degrees from Seattle University.
Judy taught school in San Jose, CA, Fairbanks, AK and the Seattle area before marrying George Beyer and becoming a full-time mother. Her children and their adventures definitely made staying home a full-time job! Judy raised her three children in their home in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood. Where they attended Blessed Sacrament church. Remembering her teaching days in San Jose and Fairbanks and raising her children always brought a smile to her face.
Judy returned to work at the University Congregational Church in the early 1980’s and ended her working career at the University of Washington’s Child Developmental Medical Research Center.
Judy’s inquisitive mind, kind heart, ready smile and great sense of humor will be dearly missed.
