| Judith Lynn Luther, 58, Puyallup, WA, formerly of Minot, ND, passed away September 10, 2018, in a Lake Havasu City hospital, after a long battle with cancer, surrounded by her family. Judy was born on October 23, 1959, daughter of Sylvester and Theresa Gefroh (Sitter) in Minot, ND. She was raised and educated in Karlsruhe, ND. Upon graduation in 1977, she moved to Minot, ND. After being diagnosed with cancer, she and Mark moved to Puyallup, WA to continue cancer treatment in Seattle. On June 6, 1980, Judy was united in marriage to Mark Luther at St. John’s Catholic Church in Minot, which began a 38 year marriage. In 1982, Nicole was born and in 1985, Sarah was born. After working at Montana Dakota Utilities, she decided she wanted to stay home with her two girls, which began her 27 year career as a daycare provider all confined in her own, personal home. Judy was a member of St. John’s Catholic Church. She was devoted in her faith and practiced it in her every day life. She enjoyed playing softball every summer and the post game activities of each game. Judy was known as “Gunner Gefroh“ as no shot was out of her distance on the Karlsruhe Tigers basketball team. She also enjoyed making crafts, creating floats that took first place for many consecutive years, including the North Dakota State Fair, decorating birthday cakes, making Christmas ornaments, planting flowers, taking winter family vacations throughout the Caribbean and sending birthday cards to many family and friends. Judy loved taking her girls to the family farm on the weekends and spending quality time and making memories with their grandparents. After more than four years of fighting cancer, she has now been set free. We would like to sincerely thank all her family and friends who supported her through all of her anxiety and pain and for keeping her family in their prayers.
