Judith or "Judy" as many knew her, was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She loved to socialize and took many pictures of friends and family.

Judith attended church and found fellowship with members of both Rock Falls Baptist and Pisgah Baptist Church. She was a long time member of the Platte Clay Electric Pathfinders and loved attending meetings and special events they hosted.
Judith was preceded in death by her husband William L. "Bill" White.
