Judith Elaine Carlisle

Judith E. Carlisle, of Superior, Colorado passed away peacefully on October 13, 2026 in Boulder. She was born in Englewood, New Jersey on November 2,1945. She was predeceased in death by her parents, William J. and Emilie J. Flohr, and brother William J. Flohr, Jr.. Judie is survived by her husband of 59 years, Douglas E Carlisle, and children Jason William and his wife Kelly, and Drew D Carlisle and his wife Katie, and grandchildren Chance W and Ava L Carlisle.

Judie grew up in Demarest, New Jersey. As a young girl she enjoyed swimming and water-skiing on the Jersey shore where her parents leased a summer home in the Normandy Beach area. She loved the beach life and became quite proficient at water skiing and surf riding. She was given a Corvette for her sixteenth birthday and subsequently earned the nickname “Gun-It!”

Judie graduated from Northern Valley Regional High School in Demarest in 1963 and went on to attend Marjorie Webster Junior College in Washington, D.C., where she studied merchandising. After graduating she worked as a coat and clothing buyer for Montgomery-Ward in New York City's Garment District. It was a very busy time and Judie loved the work.

Judie met Doug when he took a job with the Bendix Corporation in Teterboro, New Jersey after graduating from the University of Nebraska. The couple married in 1967 and moved to Denver where Doug had been transferred. It was an entirely new life in the West, camping and riding on the back of her husband's dirt bike in the mountains, looking for rare rocks, buying cowboy boots, hiking, and putting on skis. In 1971 they moved to the Green Mountain area of Denver where they began building their family life. Judie worked for Bonfils, after which she devoted herself to raising her two children, Jason and Drew. Over the years, Judie also worked at Green Mountain Ace Hardware and later at Neodata/Centrobe when the family moved to Superior.

Judie enjoyed drawing and working with watercolors; many still hang in her home. She loved shopping, camping, nice clothes, going out to eat, going for a ride, seeing family and friends, looking for moose (her favorite animal), and playing “words with friends”. Judie will forever be remembered by those who knew and loved her for her kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity. She was a loving wife, caring mother and grandmother, a loyal friend and in so many ways a beautiful person. She is deeply missed and will never be forgotten.

Celebration of Life will be held at 1:30 PM Thursday, October 29, 2026 at Crist Mortuary Chapel in Boulder, CO.
