Judith Joy Parker, 83, passed away from pancreatic cancer Saturday, July 13, 2024, in Spokane, Washington.

She was born Dec. 10, 1940. Judith led a life marked by kindness, a passion for music, and a deep love for her family and friends.

Judith graduated from Findlay High School and continued her education at Findlay College until she married. Throughout her life, she had various roles, including babysitting, waitressing, working as a store clerk, and a veterinary clerk, always bringing dedication and warmth to her work.

Her talents were many, but music held a special place in her heart. Accepted at Julliard as a concert pianist, she also found joy in reading and was an exceptional cook. Judith's later years were spent at Orchard Crest Retirement Home, where she thrived by making new friends, participating in swimming and choir, and continuing her lifelong love of animals.

She was baptized at Findlay Presbyterian Church.

Judith is survived by her children, Holly Phelps (Michael), Kathy Moya (Quentin), Melissa Dundas (William), Dana Rector (Rick), and David Parker.
