Judith Mayton

Judith was a good friend and co-worker. We supported each other as colleagues, shared heartaches and laughter, playfully harassed each other, and prayed together. I miss her a lot.

I knew Judith from being a professor, being familiar with her and her husband, Ken in the seminary at Oral Roberts University. Judith was a teacher of my kids while they attended Oral Roberts. I'll never forget the day that Judith approached me about my daughter, Christa dating Maurice, who would become her future husband. She assured me that he was a fine young man, and not like the typical jocks you find in college. She has proven to be correct as they had enjoyed 11 glorious years of marital bliss and two children. I thank Judith for her insight and helping me to see how good of man Maurice was then and still is.

Judith and I (Robert) enjoyed harassing each other. She is greatly missed.

During the late 1980's and early 1990's, Education and Behavioral Sciences shared the space where the College of Education now occupies. That is when I first met Judith; I was going through a difficult time in 1989, and during lunch hour when nobody else was in my office, she quietly came up to me and said that she was praying for me. In 2010, I was hired to be the assistant to her husband, Dr. Kenneth Mayton. She had a quiet demeanor, but exuded strength and compassion, and had a very dry sense of humor--which I loved! I will always remember her as a classy woman who could make anyone comfortable with her compassionate listening ear; anyone who spoke with Judith knew that he or she had her undivided attention. I have a feeling that she is conducting the heavenly choir of angels, and that brings a smile to my face. May her memory be a blessing.

I was a student at Oral Roberts University where I first met Mrs. Judith Mayton. I immediately felt a kindred spirit with her because she as feisty and dignified as my own mother I have many fond memories of sharing time house sitting and watching Claire Bear and Pumpkin. I am grateful for her impact on my life. No matter how old I get, I always look up to her. May she rest in the eternal peace of God Almighty. ~Angela Abraham ~

I´ve been Judith´s hairdresser for the past 4 years, she was one of my first new clients after coming back post pandemic and what a wonderful breath of fresh air she was! Beautiful, intelligent and incredibly insightful, also quite adventurous with new hairstyles! We had so much fun together and I felt like I was getting therapy while I was visiting with her, such an incredible human being! Her husband Ken would often join us in the salon as well and I enjoyed hearing their life stories! What an impactful and amazing life this precious lady lived! I will never forget her!
