Judith Pulsipher

Judy was born on April 23, 1950, in Salt Lake City to William Leonard and Amy Hardy Allen Pulsipher. She grew up in Sugar House where she developed a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ that was central to her personality and her life. She was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many callings. When she was a young woman, she dedicated eighteen months of her life to share her love of the Savior with others in the Munich Germany Mission. She loved the German people and the German language.

Judy had a lifelong love of learning. She obtained a bachelor's degree from her favorite college, Brigham Young University. While attending BYU Judy had the opportunity to spend 6 months in Austria for a study abroad program, along with her sister and cousin. She also attended LDS Business College to further her education. She attended many Institute and continuing education classes throughout her life.

For most of her adult life, Judy worked at the Church Office Building in Salt Lake City as a buyer in the purchasing department for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was a dedicated worker and she made many good friends during her time there.

Judy had many interests and hobbies. She enjoyed traveling with family and friends, visiting multiple countries the world over. Her other interests included family history, gardening, cooking, Tai chi, painting, sewing, and especially collecting and reading books. Judy loved animals, particularly dogs. She always had treats and candy to share.

Judy loved and served her family her entire life. When her beloved parents grew ill, Judy sacrificed many years and countless hours tenderly caring for them through the end of their lives.

After the passing of her parents, Judy moved to the Monte Carlo condominiums in Murray. She met new friends there and was active on the HOA board. She enjoyed taking Tai Chi classes at the clubhouse, swimming in the pool, and spending time at the Murray Senior Center.

Though Judy never had children of her own, she deeply loved her extended family. She treasured her nieces and nephews and developed especially close relationships with her sister Trish’s children. She often traveled to visit them while they lived on the East Coast and her visits were always a special occasion. She was almost like a second mother to them, attending family celebrations, hosting sleepovers at her house, and accompanying them on a cross-country trip to visit Nauvoo and Mount Rushmore. Judy had a special, life-long connection with her niece, Mandy, and spent many of her last years sharing in her family's events and experiences.

Judy will be remembered for her kindness, humor, independence, unwavering testimony, perseverance, and her love for her family. She had a quiet strength and a deep devotion to her faith, and she touched many lives through her Christlike example.

Judy is survived by her sister, Trish Coop (Kerry), and nieces and nephews: Mandy, Ally, Alicia, Angie, Eddie, Tom, Julia, Andrew, Amy, Erin, and Amber, and their families. She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Amy Pulsipher and her two brothers, Bill Pulsipher Jr. and Allen Pulsipher.

Judy fought valiantly in her battle with Alzheimer's disease during the last part of her life, and then passed away after a brief illness. The family would like to express heartfelt gratitude to the staff and friends at Sunridge Assisted Living and Memory Care for their kindness, care, and support. A special thank you and love to Paul.
