Judith Claire "Judy" Marron

Judith Claire Marron died December 10, 2023 cozy in her bed with her daughter at her side at the Bridge in Alamosa. She was born on April 19, 1933 in Evanston, Illinois, the first child of Ralph "Robbie" Aldus Robinson and Nadine Yates La Mar Robinson. She began school in Peoria, Illinois where the family moved before settling in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. At Franklin High School there, she acted in many plays and her photograph was on the cover of the national Thespian magazine when she was the lead in "I Remember Mama." She was named valedictorian, graduating at the top of her class. Judy won a complete scholarship to Coe College and joined Delta Delta Delta sorority. In her freshman year she met the love of her life, Henry "Hank" Riddle Marron, an ROTC student at the University of Iowa, and they married on August 24, 1952.
Hank joined the Army and their first home was at a base in Falls Church, Virginia. He spent a year in Korea. Upon his return, they moved to Cleveland Ohio where Hank began work as an industrial engineer and Judy was a homemaker. They had three children Elizabeth "Liza" Grace Marron, Mary "Mamie" Alexandra Wakefield (Rich), Henry "Hank" Robinson Marron (Line). The family moved from Ohio to Davenport Iowa for Henry's work, then again to Birmingham Michigan. They retired to Arlington Heights, Illinois. Judy worked at TransAmerica for 10 years before her retirement.
