Judith Ann "Judy Mack" McManama, 74, of Noblesville, passed away May 27, 2025 after a fierce battle against leukemia. Born May 26, 1951 in Indianapolis, Indiana, to the late Charles K. and Arlene A. (Spence) McManama, Judy was the embodiment of the Aloha spirit of the state she dearly loved. She was a kind, compassionate, and loving person to those who knew her whether for a lifetime or in the first few minutes of knowing her.
Judy was a graduate of North Central High School and Indiana University.
Judy is survived by her sister Patti Hacker; her nieces NP Shannon (Dr. Joseph) Lee and Kelli (Donny) Canup; her great-nieces and nephews, Kaden, Caleb, Kelsey, Eliza, and Levi. She was preceded in death by her parents and sister Carol. Judy enjoyed attending graduations, sporting events, honors programs, plays, birthdays, any and all activities her nieces or great-nieces and nephews were involved in.
Judy worked for Indianapolis Life Insurance for 25 years and was the Horse Show Secretary for horse shows all over the Midwest and Washington state for more than 40 years. It was the horse community who truly held her heart and where she shined brightest. Judy was recognized with lifetime achievement awards from the horse show community with the
ICHS Shining Star as well as being inducted into the Indiana Horse Show Hall of Fame. Judy loved this community deeply and counted many among its numbers as dear friends and family.
She loved travelling to Hawaii as often as she could, and her passions were family, horses, and horse shows. She will be greatly missed by all, including her family in the horse show community.
A visitation will be held at Singleton and St. Pierre Funeral and Cremation Service, 7602 Madison Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46227, on Monday, June 9, from 11:00AM until time of the funeral at 1PM. Burial will immediately follow at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis.
The family has requested that remembrances be made in the form of contributions to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (https://www.lls.org/) or The Autoimmune Association (https://autoimmune.org/) to support others battling leukemia and rheumatoid arthritis.
