| Published in The Arizona Republic from Mar. 16, 2021 - Phoenix, Arizona >> Judy Myers << Our beloved Judy recently lost her long struggle with cancer. She passed away in the presence of her family on Saturday, March 13th. Judy was born in 1947 in Waxahachie, Texas to Horace (Dick) and Rosa Thompson. She spent her childhood between Wyoming and Arkansas. In 1966 she met her future husband Ron and they were married in February, 1969 directly following her graduation from nursing school in Little Rock. After her marriage she resided in Virginia, New York, and New Jersey before relocating to Phoenix in 1973. Judy worked in the Phoenix area as a Registered Nurse for two different hospitals before moving to a medical clinic prior to her retiring with 30 years of nursing in 2000. After retirement she ran an estate sale business that proved to be a lot of fun and hard work. Judy leaves behind three children; Chris, Tim and Shannon as well as six grandchildren; Sarah, Caleb, Addison, Clarissa, Elliot and Christopher Jr. She is also survived by her younger siblings Jean and John Thompson. She especially loved being with her grandchildren whose ages span 4 to 16. They truly brought joy to her life and she was so very proud of them all. She dearly loved her family and close friends and will be missed by all especially her husband, Ron. Judy was kind-hearted and much loved by all who knew her. Judy enjoyed volunteering for Mom's Pantry, a Phoenix food bank and helping with Dress a Girl, an international organization that provides free dresses for poor and underprivileged children around the world. No funeral will be held as Judy donated her body to Midwestern University for medical research. A memorial service will be announced in the near future. In lieu of flowers contributions can be made to Hospice of the Valley, Mom's Pantry, or Dress a Girl International. |
