Judith Draper

Judith Mae Draper

1939 - 2021

Judith Mae Draper, beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away on January 4, 2021 after a beautiful life filled with every range of human emotion, sharply and persistently defined by love, kindness, and happiness and with no pretense or guile, but with genuine authenticity.

She was born on November 6, 1939 to Maeser Kendall Bunnell and Maxine Carol Staker Bunnell in Salt Lake City Utah. On July 23, 1959 she was married in the Salt Lake Utah Temple to David Verrill Draper who proceeded her in death on December 8, 2009. Judy was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in which she held multiple service callings. She had an unmatched abiding love for her grandchildren, but in her heart, there was also lots of room for her love of animals, singing, sweets (especially chocolate ice cream), gardening, reading, and the ocean. She expressed love mostly by what she did and less by what she said. We would love you to read more about these interests and more about her life at www.cannonmortuary.com.

She is preceded in death by her parents, her brother Ken, and her great-granddaughter Grace. She is survived by her children Mike (Karen), Richard, Robert (Janet), Liz (Eric) Davenport, Matt (Teresa), and Melissa, by her grandchildren McKensey (Sami), Jacob (Ashley), Amanda (William), Max, Ashlee (Larz), Rob (Tiffany), Lindsey (Rusty), Karlee (Jens), Chris (Hailey), Sara (Andy), Parker (Abbie), TJ (Nysa), Christian (Staci), Maggie, Samantha, Robert, and Rebecca, and by great-grandchildren Emily, Brynlee, Kason, Miles, Emma, Lily, David, Lincoln, Calvin, Emelia, Duke, and at least 4 others on the way. We are comforted knowing that she is welcomed by her loved ones who went before and is giving instruction to those on the way.

Due to the current health situation, funeral services will be limited to immediate family. Extended family and friends are invited to watch the services via a live webcast starting at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 16th 2021 at https://www.facebook.com/CannonMortuary
