As a young woman, Judith met the love of her life James “Jim” Craigmiles. They shared many wonderful years together. Jim passed away in 1992.

Judith was a loving woman who adored her family. She loved caring for her children as they grew up and was elated to become a grandmother and great-grandmother. She spent as much time with family as she could. Judith was an excellent cook, and a fierce Euchre player. She enjoyed sitting on her porch swing, soaking up the sunshine, always accompanied by her beloved dogs.

Judith is survived by her children Jimmy (Sue) Craigmiles, Lisa (Dave) DePew, Richard “Richie” Cooley, and Steven (Cassandra) Craigmiles;

 grandchildren Vanessa Carlen, Cody (Paige) Poynter, Christine and Yvette Cooley, Marissa (Jeff) Whitlock, and James (Taylor) Craigmiles;

She is preceded in death by her parents; her husband Jim Craigmiles; and her siblings.

She will be laid to rest privately at Washington Park East Cemetery next to her late husband.
