Mrs. Judith Marie Stolba

October 22, 1946 - August 10, 2017

Judith “Judy” Stolba of Willow Springs, MO passed peacefully from this life on August 10, 2017 surrounded by family. Judy was born October 22nd, 1946 to Clifford and Helen (Turner) Roberts in West Plains, MO. She graduated from Willow Springs High School in 1964. Gary and Judy were married September 18, 1998. They would have been married 19 years. Judy truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures such as chatting with friends and family on the phone, reading, working crossword puzzles, baking, giving grandkids their first ice cream cone and first bowl of chicken and noodles, watching her hummingbirds, and her cats Earl and Molly. She loved spending time with Grandkids creating lifetime memories, some of those memories being countless hours in the pool with Grandma being the target, and making Christmas special for her loved ones. With her passing she has left an empty place in our hearts. She has also provided us with a lifetime of memories.

A graveside memorial service for Judy will be held at 2:00pm, Tuesday, August 15th at the Pine Grove Cemetery in Willow Springs, MO.
