Funeral homes often submit obituaries as a service to the families they are assisting. However, we will be happy to accept obituaries from family members pending proper verification of the death.
Judy (Crosby) Younkins was born on March 22, 1950, in Anchorage, Alaska. As a child, she loved to fish with her family and read. She married her husband Richard in 1968 and later welcomed their boys Keith and Kevin.
The family moved to Hood River, Oregon, in 1976, where Judy worked at the local Rosauers grocery store for 15 years. She always had a kind word and helpful spirit in her community. As her children grew up, many of their friends would come to call Judy’s house home as well. She loved to cook and bake, but perhaps her favorite thing was canning. She was also a talented singer and loved music.
Her granddaughters, Jubilation and Manon, were the light of her life, and she loved watching them grow up. She got to fulfill her lifelong dream of visiting Rome in 2025 with her family. Above all else, Judy loved her family and taking care of them was her greatest joy. She supported and encouraged everyone’s dreams. She was surrounded by her family when she passed and the people who were in her life will carry on her legacy of love, kindness and nurturing.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Roger and Shirley Crosby. She is survived by her beloved husband Richard; her son Keith and his daughter Manon; her son Kevin, his daughter Jubilation and wife Hannah; brother Lon Crosby, wife Denise and family of Redmond, Oregon; as well as many dear friends and extended family members.
