Judith Biggerstaff Obituary

Biggerstaff, Judith Arlene "Judie"

entered into heaven on Sept. 23, 2025. Born in Brazil, Indiana on November 9,1944 to Carl and Gladys Rickard, she married her high school sweetheart and started her family with husband Jimmy Biggerstaff who preceded her in death. She is survived by sons, Tim (Beverly) Biggerstaff of St. Petersburg, FL, Keith (Christy) Biggerstaff of Valparaiso, IN, and David (Kathy) Biggerstaff of Dunnellon, FL. She is also survived by three grandchildren, Gavin Biggerstaff of Valparaiso, Kaylee Biggerstaff of Dunnellon, Ryan (Kevin) Crowe of Hobart, IN; her brother, Ted (Aleta) Rickard of St. Petersburg; and sister, Carla (Bob) Reibly of Portage, IN. She was preceded in death by two sisters, Marilyn Miller and Carolyn Alsip; both from Brazil, Indiana; and many nieces and nephews. She was so proud of her sons and grandchildren who gave her life immense joy.

Judie was a Christian woman whose faith was paramount in her life. Attending church services and being an active member of her church was important to her. A singer from an early age she won various singing competitions as a young girl and later recorded her own country gospel album "Messages from Heaven" with her own original songs, followed by a release of additional songs on cassette release and converted to CD.

Judie was always a friend to those who needed one and was always willing to spread God's word. She will be dearly missed by everyone who knew and loved her. Ours hearts are broken for her loss but she's rejoicing with those who've left this world. Services to be held at Sorensen Funeral Home, 3180 30th Ave. St. Petersburg, FL on September 30, at 10 am.
