Judith Ann Beecraft

Judith Ann Beecraft passed away peacefully with family by her side in Grand Junction Colorado on November 1, 2021.

Judy was born in Mechanisburg, Illinois to Glenn Marshall and Margaret Rogers Marshall on September 16, 1940.

She met the love of her life, Larry Gene Beecraft and they were married on March 26, 1960 in Colorado.

They raised 4 children: Janice, Connie, David and Donald.

After many years of cooking and waitressing for others, Judy and Larry opened their own restaurant, “The Other Place” in Rifle. The great food, clean restaurant, friendly owners and staff made this the best restaurant in rifle and surrounding area. Thursday night Mexican food and Friday night prime rib always promised a packed house at The Other Place. Judy loved cooking for her family and anyone that came around. There was always room for “one more”.

She enjoyed watching her children compete in their sports as they grew up. When the time came she watched her grandchildren and great grandchildren too. She was your #1 fan! Always there with a smile on her face ready to cheer them on.

Always dressed to the “t” with her ear rings and necklace and impeccable makeup. She was a classy lady.

She was always up for a box game or even better, card games especially if money was involved. Poker was her game of choice.

Judy as others would say, she is always so “happy and bubbly”. She was willing to do and try anything. She loved visiting with her friends and family. She enjoyed life and loved unconditionally.

She is survived by her children: daughters; Connie, Janice (Wayne) sons; David (Teresa) and Donald (Sue).

Grand Children: Bobby, Jennifer, David, Scott, Sharaya, Katrina, Brian, Savannah, Sadie, Matraisa, Bubby, Luke and Caitlin.

Great grandchildren: Brooke, Julia, Fiona, Carter, Cade, Jaxton, Xander, Phoenix, Brooke, Trey, Liam, Asher, Amesley, Huntleigh, Watson, Caramie, Cenedie, Holden, Cash and Colette.

One sister Beverly.
