Judes, 82, passed away on March 7, 2024 in Lake Havasu City. She was born in Taunton, Massachusetts on Dec. 23, 1941 and raised by her mother Augusta (Sis) Doolin and stepfather Henry (Bo) Bowmaster. She graduated from El Cajon Valley High School in El Cajon, California in 1959. She went on to beautician school and became a successful hairstylist. Judes was a gifted painter and was passionate about dancing. She belonged to the London Bridge Squares for many years. She loved outdoor sports like tennis, swimming, crocheting afghans and playing cards. Judes called Lake Havasu City home for over 30 years.

In 1984, Judes overcame addiction through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), and Celebrate Recovery (CR) turning her life over to God as Her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. For the past 40 years, she has shared her experience, strength and hope with many others struggling with alcoholism. Judes had a vision impairment which did not slow her down. God blessed her with many many loving friends who came to her aid, including driving her everywhere. May God bless each and every one of you. She is preceded in death by her brother Herbie, and is survived by her children Denise and Lance, and five grandchildren Jessica, Justin, Cory, Jared and Logan.
