Judy Joy Reading was born February 7, 1950, and passed away January 23, 2025 (just shy of her 75th birthday) after a 7-month battle with cancer. She is the middle daughter born to Harold Morris Stern and Wilda Fern (Joy) Parkins in the city of Compton, California. She is survived by her 2 sisters, 4 children, 14 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren.
Judy grew up in Southern California and attended La Mirada High School where she met and married her high school sweetheart and had 2 children, they later divorced, and she married Richard Lyman Reading and had 2 more children. He preceded her in death in 2022.
Judy enjoyed her family, dogs, shopping, decorating her home for the holidays, playing the slots at the casino, and Disneyland where she worked for 15 years before retiring. She moved from Southern California to Utah and then settled in Arizona to be close to 2 of her children and their families. She was able to fulfill her dream of visiting Hawaii a month before her cancer diagnosis.
She requested no memorial service to be held.
The family would like to thank the caretakers that helped her through the final stages of her life.
