A woman of strength,
Never giving up,
Accepting,
Giving,
Always loving and forgiving.
A woman of not many words,
But rich in wisdom,
Observing quietly and taking it all in,
Never Complaining.
She lived her life in her own quiet, peaceful way.
Judy, you will be in our memories forever,
We look at you as an example of
Perseverance,
Elegance,
Beauty.

Born July 24 1954, in Montana, Judy grew up in San Jose where she graduated from high school. After graduating she joined the army to become a nurse, and continued her nursing career studying at Humboldt State. She worked for 32 years as a nurse at Saint Joseph Hospital until cancer forced her to retire.

She leaves behind her son Jeremy Krokosynski, significant other Stu Mair, sisters Rosalie & Tina, brother Art, along with numerous nieces, nephews and a core group of friends. It has been a hard journey for Judy since she was diagnosed with cancer she has fought this terrible disease with everything she could. Spending five years of clinical trials and constantly researching, as she grew sicker and tried to live life to the fullest.

A year ago this month she was enjoying the wonders of Italy, one of the things she always wanted to do, as she was able to hold the cancer back.

One of her doctors at the beginning of this equated it to a sleigh ride at Christmas as you were going through the forest to celebrate, a pack of wolves begin chasing. You throw one of the gifts at them to slow them down, you do this again and again until finally there is nothing left to throw.

Judy is now at peace and not suffering from the pain of cancer. She passed at home November 28.

God Bless.

May her memory be forever a blessing. At this time there will be no services.
