Judith A. Ream

It is with great sadness that the family of Judith Ann (Werner) Ream, 83, of Lebanon, PA announced her passing on Sunday May 5, 2024. Born on September 25, 1940 in Stouchburg, PA, she was the daughter of the late William and Emma (Fisher) Werner. Judith was predeceased by her loving husband Warren D. Ream who passed away on July 29, 1997 and to whom they shared 30 years of marriage. She is also preceded in death by a brother Bruce Werner. Judith is survived by daughters Tonya, wife of Mike Wilson of Tulpehocken Township and Natasha, wife of Josh Long of Lebanon. Grandsons Michael Wilson, Logan Wilson and Ayden Long. Sisters Linda Ruth (Max) of Wernersville, Barbara Whitmoyer (Robert) of Womelsdorf, Carol Drexel (Lee) of Beech Creek, PA and brother Scott Werner (Daphne) of Womelsdorf along with several nieces and nephews. 
Judy was proudly employed for 47 years at Ludens in Reading where she was the timekeeper of the maintenance department. There was never a shortage of candies or cough drops in the family home. Having retired from the Ludens Plant of the Hershey Corporation in 2006, Judy enjoyed record collecting, playing her piano, thrift shopping and spending time with her family. Judy was also very musically gifted having a music career spanning over 45 years. She could be found singing and playing piano at an early age alongside her dad who was a great entertainer himself. She later formed her first band, 'Judy and the Hearts' in the late 1950s but is mostly remembered for her band 'Judy and the Keller Brothers' where on the greater days of the 70s and 80s they could always be found entertaining in the local bars and social halls and playing wedding receptions throughout Berks and Lebanon County areas. Heaven has truly gained a musical angel. 
A private service will be held at the family's request.
