Obituary published on Legacy.com by The Meeks Mortuary & Crematory - Washington Street Chapel on Jun. 18, 2025.
On Monday, June 16, 2025, Judy J. (Ross) Workman, 80, was called home to the Lord. Judy was a very beautiful person with a warm heart.
Judy was born and raised in
Muncie, IN, and preceded in death by parents James and Mary Ross (Baxter) and brother Bob Ross (Alice). She attended school in Muncie and a Catholic school in Indianapolis, IN.
In the late 1970s, Judy and her four children, Chuck (Lea), Lisa, Bob (Karen), and Mark (Karen) moved to Pasadena, Texas. She and her family made many memories in Texas. Judy moved back to Indiana in the mid-1990s.
Judy worked in public customer-oriented positions most of her life, having worked ten years with Marsh Supermarkets before retiring. She was a very hard worker throughout her life and worked two jobs at times to provide the very best for her children.
She had an exuberant personality, a beautiful smile, dedication to work, and characteristic traits that made her an exceptional person. She was always there for others when in need and always had a way to make things better.
Judy loved and had an appreciation for music, loved to travel and most importantly spending time with her family. She always hosted family holiday gatherings, up to the point she was unable to do so.
Judy had two sisters, Rose Jett and Sharon Fox, Muncie. Judy remained close to her siblings throughout her life. She loved all in her family circle very much and loved spoiling her many grandchildren and great grandchildren. The memories she created will always be cherished.
"Gran Jude" (they called her) was loved by her grandchildren: Brian (Nathalie) and Casey Bigtree (Jen); Lindsey Dorroh, Amanda Looney (Greg), and Robby Workman; Zach Armantrout, Taylor Workman (Ryan McCollum) and Haille Dishman (Kassidy); Heather Utsler, Chelsea Walters (Adam), Lauren and Lucas Workman.
Great-grandchildren: Delia, Olivia, and Luka Bigtree; Grayson, Emerson, and Everett McCollum; Beckham and Bodie Looney; Grayson and Hadley Walters; and Amari Cannon and Kabrian Utsler. Judy had many nieces and nephews, too.
