Judith Hunter Moore Beaudette, daughter of Lewis and Mabel Moore passed peacefully on March 22^nd at the age of 82. She leaves daughters Deborah (David) Reuterman and Lisa Beaudette; grandchildren Kayla, Jacob, Abby, Elizabeth, Jada, and Emma; brother Buddy (Marilyn) Moore; nephew Hunter and his three children Sage, Michael and Lucy.

Judy was raised in Ruther Glen, VA and loved country living. She entered nursing school out of high school and later joined the US Air Force. She spent 11 years traveling the world in the Air Force before settling in Phoenix to raise her daughters.  Though Phoenix became her adopted home, nothing matched her love for Ruther Glen.  She traveled back to Virginia at every opportunity and nurtured a deep connection for her daughters with her home. In Phoenix, Judy spent 32 years as a NICU nurse for Phoenix Children’s Hospital. She loved taking care of God’s most fragile children and in that time she learned that death was nothing to fear. Judy was an active member of both St Paul’s UMC in Ruther Glen and Cross Roads UMC in Phoenix. She devoted her life to God and believed deeply in the Methodist philosophy to do all the good you can for all the people you can for as long as you can.  Her home was always open to those who needed a place to live and a warm meal from Mom Beaudette. She taught her daughters that family is defined by those you love and those who love you.  From her years in the Air Force through her years in the NICU her impact was significant and our loss is great.  We are comforted, however, in the knowledge that she crossed without fear, confident in love and excited to reunite with Jesus.

Visitation will be held at Storke Funeral Home in Bowling Green, VA on April 5^th from 4:00 – 6:00pm. Services will be held at St. Paul’s UMC on Sunday April 6^th at 2:00pm. Reception to follow.  For friends and family in Phoenix, a memorial service will be held on May 31^st at 10am at Cross Roads UMC.  In lieu of flowers donations can be made to St. Paul’s UMC, Cross Roads UMC or Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
