Judith Dieter Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Memorial Park Funeral Home & Crematory - St. Petersburg on Feb. 10, 2026.
Judith Christine Dieter, born October 28, 1949, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, February 8th of this year. A devout Christian, Judith was a loving mother, wife, and grandmother whose life reflected faith, compassion, and creativity.

She earned two master's degrees from the University of Michigan and devoted her career to special education and kindergarten, where she touched many young lives. Judith had a deep love for painting and gardening, and her passion for art took her on several trips to Europe-especially Italy-where she painted.

For over 30 years, she cherished annual trips and camping on her property in St. Thomas, a place that brought her great joy. Judith was married to Alan for 14 years, and for 12 of those years they were sunbirds in Punta Gorda, Florida. She especially loved her time in Shell Creek, where she made many dear friends and built a meaningful community.

Judith is survived by her children, Ben, Jess, and Rachel; her stepchildren, Tonya, Daniel, and Christa; and 14 beloved grandchildren. Her warmth, faith, and loving spirit will be remembered always.

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, February 19th, 2026 at 3 pm at New Day Christian Church located at 20212 Peachland Blvd Port Charlotte, FL 33954.

Your passing was such a shock. I and the others in our group of K&Ks are saddened to say the least and we will miss you, always, but especially on Monday and Thursday afternoons. When my rose bushes , that you loved, bloom, I will think of you fondly. Farewell and RIP.

I am so sorry to hear about Judith. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Carol called me today and told me about Judith. I´m so sorry for your loss. I know this is a busy and difficult time for you, but I just wanted you to know that Carol, my daughter Karry, and I will keep you in our prayers. She will be missed. Please stop by when you get back to Michigan. I´m still at Chemung in the summer months.

My dearest friend I miss you being on this earth. You are in the presence of our Lord Jesus but for us, it is your presence here that we miss.
The friendship we began in our college classroom was cemented over the years as we shared all these decades together, traversing the ups and downs of life, learning and growing together, loving the Lord more and more with each passing year, making memories that fill many pages of time.
Thanking our God for your years on this earth and allowing me the privilege of having our lives intertwine. And finally to see you so happy with Alan the love of your life with the gift of walking restored to you enriching that life in so many ways was a joy to see, giving rise to celebration with thanksgiving to our God for the grace, mercy and blessing He bestowed on you...your life.
