Judy passed away at home and is survived by her loving family including her sisters with whom she was raised, Pat Loudon and Carol Yandell, her nephew Chris Yandell, her niece Angela Collins, and other family members including brothers Norman Pat Upton, and sisters Arlene Pisano, and Alice Gangbin.
Judy lived in the same home in Elverta, California for nearly her entire life, only moving within the last two years. She knew many local residents due to her career at the post office which spanned many decades. Judy had a sweet and loving soul and a lifelong love for cats, big and small. Judy's heart was big enough to love and care for all wildlife. She regularly donated to animal relief causes and took a trip to Peru to explore the rainforest. Judy's other big passion was reading and learning. Her book collection was vast and ever growing. Judy enjoyed getting together with family throughout the year. She will be dearly missed.
Judy was laid to rest on February 14th, 2025 at Sunset Lawn Chapel of the Chimes in Sacramento, California with her mom and dad who raised her, Polly and Dewie Upton.
