Judith Ann Momot-Craft, 71, of Chehalis WA and a native of Aberdeen, died peacefully with loved ones around her at her home on Sunday, January 4, 2015, after a courageous two year battle with cancer.
Judy was born September 5th, 1943, at Community Hospital on Simpson Avenue in Aberdeen. She grew up the only child of Edward J. Momot and Arlene B. Wetzel-Momot.
Some of her fondest childhood memories included watching the fish in the pond located in the backyard of her father’s parents’ house, spending time with her mother’s parents at their home in Hoquiam, and riding around her Rice Street neighborhood on the Hop-A-Long Cassidy bicycle she got one year for Christmas. She loved roller skating and spent most of her teen years skating with friends at the Harborena Roller Skating Rink near her home. Judy graduated from Weatherwax High School in 1961 and lived in Aberdeen until 1972 when she moved to the Chehalis area where she lived out the happiest days of the rest of her life on “THE FARM” with her true love and soul-mate Charles R. (Chuck) Lister. She always said the most important lesson she learned was the acceptance of life on life’s terms.
Judy is survived by two sons, Danny R. Jamieson of Centralia and Jordon R. Craft of Chehalis: two daughters, Vanessa R. Foster-Ballew of Elma and Yvonne M. Craft-Sauter of Moses Lake: two step-sons, Charles Kifer of Centralia and Daniel Lister of Rochester; several grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her son Troy Foster and her life partner Chuck. A loving mother and friend to all she will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved her.
Judy and Chuck will be inurned together during a private family service in the mausoleum at Fern Hill Cemetery in Aberdeen. A message of condolence or of a memory can be sent to their family at www.fernhillfuneral.com.
Cremation arrangements are entrusted to Fern Hill Funeral Home in Aberdeen, WA.
