Judith Mae Eberwein, age 81, passed from this life on Wednesday, October 22, 2025. She was born on November 14, 1943, in Hanford, California, to Robert V. Monson and Wanda (Smith) Monson.
A devoted member of the Church of Christ, Judy lived a life marked by faith and creativity. She found joy in teaching sign language and crafting, and could often be found enjoying a good movie, snacking on M&M's, or delighting in the simple beauty of ladybugs and animals. Above all, Judy cherished the moments spent with her family and friends, whose lives were brightened by her sweet and gentle spirit.
She was a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend to many, and her presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
Judy was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, John Eberwein.
She is survived by her daughter, Missy Bell and husband, Josh Bell of Weatherford, Texas; stepson, David Eberwein of Pleasanton, California; stepdaughter, Adele Eberwein of Pleasanton, California; grandchildren, Carter Bell and Piper Bell, of Weatherford, Texas; and step-grandson, Lael Eberwein, of Pleasanton, California. Judith is also survived by her bonus brother and sister, Byron Lee Dial and Letitia Dial of Hanford, California; including countless extended family members and friends who were like family.
