Effie Judd Obituary

Arlena, affectionately known as Yea Yea, grew up in Missouri until the age of 15; at which time her family relocated to Benson, AZ where she met the love of her life Archie James "Jim" Judd. The two attended Arizona State College (ASU) where Arlena earned an associate degree in Business. Arlena and Jim were married 53 years and had three beautiful daughters: Susan (Jeff) Hinkins, Janice (Jay) Soutee, and Karen (Kenny) Jones. Her life was centered around her family and friends. Arlena enjoyed church activities, hiking, fishing, camping, volunteering with Prescott People Who Care, and traveling. However, her most precious time was spent with her four grandchildren: Kristin and Sara Hinkins, Kolten and Kody Jones. Arlena was a special woman full of faith, love, and compassion for all; and she will be deeply missed. She is survived by her loving husband, Jim Judd; brothers: Bob (Judy) and Larry (Carol) Dempster; sister Charlotte (Brad) Smith; her children, grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Visitation will be on June 11, 2009 from 5pm-7pm at Hampton Funeral Home in Prescott, Arizona. The graveside Service will be at Cochise Gardens in Benson, Arizona on June 12, 2009.
