Judith Beumler, born on February 27, 1945, in Peoria, Illinois, departed this earthly realm on November 22, 2025, in Louisville, Kentucky, leaving behind a legacy of love and cherished memories. Judith, known fondly as Duena by her beloved grandchildren, epitomized the virtues of compassion, nurturing, and unwavering support throughout her life.
As a mother, sister, and grandmother, Judith profoundly impacted all who had the privilege of knowing her. She was a guiding light, a confidante, and a source of boundless encouragement to her family, particularly her daughter Amy (Steve) Jagoda, who carries forward the values instilled in her from a young age. Judith's heart swelled with pride for her grandsons, Brian and Collin Landrum, who brought her immeasurable joy and served as reflections of her enduring spirit.
Judith's sisterly bonds were equally strong and vibrant, shared with sisters Bobbie Darzes, Angelen Van Daele, and Debi (Peter) Farquhar. Together, they formed a tight-knit circle of support and love, navigating life's challenges with grace and humor.
In her role as a grandmother, she radiated warmth and affection, showering her granddaughters, Kacey (Alex) Karagias and Jax (Peter) Leah, with kindness and wisdom. Each moment spent together was a treasure, filled with laughter and profound lessons that will echo in their hearts eternally.
Judith's family (Who often referred to her as Auntie Most Precious) also extends to her dear niece, Casandra (Chadwick) Kyffin, and her nephews, Patrick (Crystal) Beumler, Justin (Marcie) Beumler, Adam Pardee, and Taylor Darzes. Each of them cherished her unique spirit, drawn to the unconditional love she so generously extended.
Judith's journey through life was marked by an unwavering spirit and a heart that knew no bounds. Her passing was peaceful and devoid of regrets, a testament to a life well-lived, filled with meaningful connections and timeless moments.
She shall be profoundly missed by those she leaves behind, and her legacy will continue to inspire them in days to come. May her memory forever illuminate the hearts of her family and all fortunate enough to have known her.
Services will be held at later date.
