Judith Ann Lauderbach

Judith Ann Lauderbach died on Thursday, January 27, 2022, at her home in Linden, Arizona (just outside of Show Low) following a brief illness. Judy, as she was known, was born on a Thursday, December 12, 1957, in Globe, Arizona to her parents the late Ronald and Roberta (Wolfe) Brill.

She is a graduated member of Phoenix Christian High School's Class of 1974. Judy later attended, and graduated from, cosmetology school. On July 16, 1993, Judy married Kent Lauderbach, Sr., (owner of Lauderbach Construction, Inc.). Kent lovingly referred to Judy as being the positive driving force behind himself and their business. For the past 27 years, she made the best business partner to him.

Judy had an incredible sense of humor and she loved to laugh! She was never one to take things too seriously and did her darnedest to help Kent not take things so seriously. She thought that he was the funniest guy ever born and he could make her laugh like no other. They adored each other. 

Judy was a woman of great faith. She believed in her Christian values and, along with her husband, reared her children to become forthright, confident, and good people. She taught, through her example that we all must be mindful of "those who go without." We, as children of a loving God, must look after and serve one another and to be generous in sharing our bounty with those who are less fortunate. Judy was a super giving person and "didn't have a stingy bone in her body." She loved to feed others and when visiting her at home, she always wanted you to take a "snack" to enjoy. If you didn't, might incur her rath (and you didn't want to do that). Family was always her number one priority and she loved each member of her beautiful clan.     

Judy is survived by her husband, Kent Lauderbach, Sr., of Linden, Arizona; 3 children: Kainan (and his wife, Brenda) Baca of Farmington, New Mexico, Rachael (and her husband, Mitch Hansen) of Show Low, Arizona, Kent (Anna) Lauderbach, Jr., of Linden, Arizona; 8 grandchildren: Parker Baca, Addison Baca, Kainan Baca, Turner Baca, Briseis Baca, Amara Lauderbach, Ariela Baca and Lincoln Lauderbach. Judy is also survived by her sister, Martha Brill.      

Judy's memorial service will begin 10:30 A.M., Saturday, February 19, 2022, at the New Hope Christian Fellowship, 989 Cheney Ranch Road in Show Low, Arizona.
