Judith Ann Klimke-Williams

Judith Klimke-Williams, 83, passed away on February 6, 2022 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.

Judy was born Judith Tabor to Clayton Tabor and Audrey “June” Randall on September 18, 1939 in Aberdeen, Washington. She was raised in the Marysville area and lived in the Issaquah/Maple Valley area over the last 50+ years.

Judy always loved animals and she became a veterinary technician in the late 1960’s.

Around the same time, Judy started breeding and showing dachshunds. She finished many champions while traveling around the Northwest and the U.S. to dog shows. She even attended the Westminster show in New York and the Crufts show in the U.K.

After leaving the veterinary tech profession, Judy worked as a bus driver for the Issaquah School District. She primarily drove special needs students and loved helping the students and working with their families.

Judy left behind many close friends, including Becky Dickerson, Kathleen Ewing, Kathy Price, and Sharon Hechinger. She is survived by her daughter, Tami Wierman.

A memorial gathering will be held later in 2023.
