Judith Ann Rankin

Remembering fondly Judith's warmth and graciousness with Jim at Asian Arts Council gatherings and sending sincere condolences.

We loved Judy. She was an inspiring cook and hostess, delightful conversationalist and fun to be with. We are so shocked and sorry to learn of her untimely death. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jim and Nicole. May your wonderful memories of this special lady bring you comfort.

My mother Judy I was so blessed to have 51
Wonderful years with her. She was so beautiful,
Kind, loving, and warm hearted. I have such
Wonderful memories of she and my dad growing
Up on Carmelina Ave. She always had my back
And was always by my side so supportive at my
Best of times and my worst of times. I could not ask
For a better mom, friend and confidant.
She is with no more pain now and with
Our lord for always. She is terrifbly missed
And will be loved...

Judith was a delightful addition to our lunch group after meetings of Art Speaks at the Portland Art Museum. She & Jim supported the Asian Art Council with Jim often helping out as bartender at various receptions and parties.
I was always honored to attend wonderful parties at the Rankin's home, with creative and delicious dishes chosen by Judith.
Always a friendly face in the crowds at PAM events. I will miss her terribly.

Jim, I have have fond memories of the short time we all spent together during your move to Oregon and your new home. I'm sending condolences from Japan and regrets that I won't be able to attend Judy's memorial but you'll be in my thoughts and prayers as you prepare and celebrate her life.
