Judith Anne Simpson, age 84, formerly of Crystal Lake, passed away peacefully at her home in Round Rock, Texas on September 18, 2022. Judy was born August 24, 1938 in Chicago. She graduated from McHenry High School in 1957. She met the love of her life at Northern Illinois Gas and married Denny Simpson on September 16, 1961. They settled in Crystal Lake to raise their family. For many years Judy and Denny were involved in the little league community and built lasting connections with many dear family friends. Judy worked in the Crystal Lake Independent School District throughout her children's tenure, serving in office, secretarial, and librarian roles. She was an avid baseball fan, the Cubs her first love, the Texas Rangers her second. Judy spent her later years surrounded by her family and friends in Texas.
Judith was preceded in death by her parents Earl and Violet Lawrence and her husband Denny Simpson. She is survived by her sister Sue Durbin, daughter Nikki Watkins and her husband John, son Jim Simpson, granddaughter Kaleigh, and many "adopted family" who called her mom.
A Celebration of Judith's Life will be held on Sunday, October 23, 2022. Times will be announced in the coming days. Judith's passion for connecting with children fueled her faithful patronage to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. In lieu of flowers, we ask that all well-wishers donate to St. Jude's in her memory. www.stjude.org
