Judy KAUFFMAN Obituary
She was a talented teacher, an amateur archeologist, an expert seamstress, and a mother of three. She was very active in the local sewing and quilting community and taught sewing classes and seminars.
She also loved musical theater. While her children were at Ferris High School, she performed with Ham on Regal and regularly attended Broadway shows, singing along even when she didn't know all the lyrics.
Judy was a fun mom and neighbor, always had a good story to tell, and kept in touch with friends and relatives throughout her life. She loved cats and always kept a good bottle of wine hidden somewhere in the house.
She is survived by her husband of 62 years (C. Gordon), her son (Chris), her twin daughters (Jodi and Stacy), four grandchildren, and her sisters (Jaymi and Jill).

I just heard of Judy's passing a little over a year ago, I'm so sorry to hear it as our family has known Judy and Gordon for many many years and Judy was a wonderful friend and person with a great sense of humor. She will definitely be missed. My condolences to Gordon and the family.

Smiling as I remember Zumba classes with you at the Spokane Club and the Y. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Judy was a faithful member of my South YMCA Zumba class. I have many group photos with her included as our class celebrated every holiday (and some that we made up) as an excuse to party. Judy's sense of humor and quick smile are something I will never forget. She will be missed in our class! Thank you for sharing her with us. ~Tricia
