Judith Ann Thomas, 85, of Lake Havasu City, passed away on February 27th
2026 in Las Vegas after a short illness.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, June 27th at 1PM in Lake
Havasu at Mount Olive Lutheran Church where Judy was an active member
for over 25 years.

Judy was born to Art and Alice Swiggum family in Ferryville, WI on
February 16th, 1941, the first of 4 children. She lived in Wisconsin
until she married Conrad Overbo and, moved to California. This is where
she made her life for the next 40 years. She and Conrad had 3 children,
Carmen Fuller, Brenda Milos and Adam Overbo. Judy was a hard worker who
balanced her parenting duties while working full-time. After divorcing
Conrad, Judy married Richard (Dick) Thomas and moved to Lake Havasu
City. There they built a home and a life that anyone would envy.

Judy loved to be involved and make a difference. She retired and became
busier than ever with the Church, the Moose Lodge, Republican Women's
Group, TOPS, the Judy club, and Red Hat Purple Dress club. Judy wasn't
just a member of these groups. She was an active and engaged participant
in each group, a natural leader and could be counted on to step in and
make decisions if needed. She was an amazing human being with a heart of
gold, an undying faith in the Lord and a smile that lit up the room.

Judy is preceded in death by her parents, her ex-husband Conrad Overbo,
and Dick Thomas.

Judy is survived by her three children, two step-daughters, three
siblings, twelve grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and hundreds
of friends that were close enough to be family.
