Judith (Judy) Ann Waugh, 76, of Phoenix, AZ was called home December 7, 2020 with her husband, Terry Waugh, by her side.

A celebration of life was held Friday, December 11 in Phoenix, AZ at Shadow Mountain Funeral Home, followed by a graveside burial on December 17, 2020 at Oakwood Cemetery in Monticello Iowa.

A little piece of Judy is survived in each of these hearts : her loving husband, Terry Waugh of Phoenix, AZ. Her children, Jackie (Phil) Lambert & Jamie Appleby of Monticello, Iowa, Steve Mitchell of Lewisville, TX, David (Karen) Waugh of Kent, Washington, Kim (John) Murer & Jennifer (Jace) Johnson of Payson, AZ, and Brian Waugh of Phoenix, AZ. Brother and sister in laws, Rebecca Hogan of Knoxville, TN, Nann Hogan of Cedar Rapids, IA, Gary (Riki) Waugh, Pam Waugh and Bobbie (Tree) Newbill of Phoenix, AZ. 13 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.    While we are sad to let her go, she has a lot of people who love her welcoming her home. She is preceded in death by her mother (Helen Hogan), her father (Clifford Hogan) and her brothers (Guy & Jon Hogan).

Judy was born November 6, 1944 to Clifford Hogan and Helen (Harms) Hogan in Monticello, Iowa. Judy graduated from Monticello High School in 1962.   She married Jack Mitchell in 1964 and was gifted three children.   Judy worked for Marriott and Motorola and volunteered for the Red Cross.

On December 1, 1989 she married the love of her life, Terry Waugh. They settled in Phoenix and cultivated a life they loved living.

After retirement, they enjoyed keeping busy with hobbies they could enjoy together. Sewing, reading, live music, sailing and flying their Grumman (especially back to Iowa to visit family & to casinos in Laughlin) were things that brought them great joy.

Her battle was one of great lengths but she always found the courage and strength to live every moment to its fullest, hold space to be available and let the people around her know how much they were loved.  Spoken by the words of her great granddaughter, "we can still love her even though she's gone to heaven."
