Born on March 18, 1938 in Salina, Kansas, Judith was a resident of Chandler, Arizona.
With only a high school diploma, Judith focused her career on accounting, bookkeeping, and tax services. The result was a long commitment to balancing her work, her family and her faith.
On November 30, 1957, Judith married Edward Anthony Valentine in Phoenix, Arizona. Together, they built a loving family. She is survived by her son Anthony Valentine, daughter Linda Schmidt, and grandchildren Matthew Edward Valentine and Mitchell Allen Valentine. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband.
In her personal life, Judith enjoyed attending mass at St. Steven’s Catholic Church in Sun Lakes, Arizona, reading, and cross stitching. Perhaps her biggest thrill was every Christmas Eve hosting and cooking the biggest Italian dinner for family and friends.
Judith Sandra Valentine will be remembered for her gentle nature and hard-working spirit, leaving a lasting impact on all who knew her.
