Judith "Judy" Actor, 81, of Spokane, passed away on January 1, 2026. Born February 15, 1944, in Pasco, WA, she was the daughter of the late Adolph and Anna VanHollebeke. A graduate of Pasco High School and the University of Idaho, Judy dedicated her professional life to education. She served for decades at Holmes Elementary within the Spokane Public Schools system, where she was highly regarded for her sharp intellect and "feisty" personality. It was there that she developed many close lifelong friendships.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 57 years, David Actor; her son, Ryan (Mary) Actor; her daughter, Alexa "Lexie" Actor-McCully; and her cherished grandson, Reece McCully. She also leaves behind her sister, Carol Ann Combs; as well as her bonus daughter, Elissa Garcia, and her many nieces and nephews.
