Judith Marie Williams

Died: April 7, 2020

Judy Williams passed away at home after an eight-month fight against the effects of a massive stroke that occurred on the eve of her 25th wedding anniversary. Judy was a long time resident of Riverside, applying her skills as a professional cosmetologist and an entrepreneur owning and operating her own business. Judy was born in Benton County, Missouri, to the parents, Finis and Myrtle Estes, and was next to the youngest of six sisters. In the mid-'40s, the family moved to California and settled in the small northern city of Tehama, which Judy loved as she was growing up. After she graduated from high school and being financially unable to further her education, she worked her way through cosmetology school. Later, she met and married Robert Sensenbach and worked in her trade while becoming a mother of three children. After completing his service in the US Air Force, Robert Sensenbach moved his family to Riverside. After 28 years of marriage, the couple split and later divorced. It was during that period that Judy met married a retired a USAF Colonel Earl Williams, and together they expanded Judy's business and created, at the time, the largest and newest beauty salon in Riverside county. After six successful years operating that business, Judy and Earl yielded to their great quest to travel, sold the business, and traveled the United States and many great countries around the world. Judy was an extremely friendly and fun-loving person with many friends, generous to a fault, witty, and, most of all, a very loving person. She is survived by her three children, Gregory Sensenbach, Sherri Sensenbach, both of Riverside, and Kimmy Amberger of Liberty Township, Ohio, and eight grandchildren. Judy will be forever missed by all that knew her. Services will take place on Thursday, April 16th, and are limited to the immediate family members due to the restrictions that are in place due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. So sorry about that. A celebration is delayed until we all can gather.
