Judith Stafford Obituary

Judith Lynn Stafford, 62, of Galien joined her heavenly home peacefully, Sunday, Nov. 23, 2025, in the presence of her family's comfort.

Her life began Nov. 23, 1963, in Cleveland, born to John McDonald. She married Jeff Stafford in Port Huron, Ohio, on April 17, 2010.

Judy's whole life was her church and her family. She adored her grandchildren. Judy volunteered often at the American Legion Post #344 in Galien. She enjoyed caring for others; baking and making meals for her family and friends. Judy always had a word to say about the Gospel, and wanted everyone she knew and met to know Jesus the same way she does.

Judy will be greatly missed by family and friends. She is survived by her beloved husband of 16 years, Jeff Stafford of Galien; one daughter, Brandy (Jeremy) Payne of Bridgman; two sons: Johnathon (Crystal) Beaver of Madison Heights, Robert Beaver of Birmingham; 11 grandchildren: Corey, Caleb, Cayden, Beau, Madison, Brooklyn, Mckinley, Faith, Benjamin, Judah, Jeremiah and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her father; one granddaughter, Kendall and two aunts: Connie and Brenda.

Family and friends will gather from noon until the time of the service at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 6, in Calvary Tabernacle, 606 N. Elm St., Three Oaks, MI 49128. Judy will be laid to rest in Forest Lawn Cemetery.

The family prefers contributions in memory of Judy be made to Calvary Tabernacle.
