HALE, JUDY Graveside services are scheduled for 3:00 p.m., Friday, May 3, 2013 at South Park Cemetery for Judy Hale, age 66, of Roswell who passed away on April 17, 2013. Pastor Rick Hale of Grace Community Church will officiate.
Judy was born April 15, 1947 in Roswell, NM to Frank and Hazel Daggett Hale. They have preceded her in death as well as a half brother Duane Hale.
As a child and young woman she enjoyed playing the piano and loved to eat popcorn and watch movies with family and friends. Judy was often thoughtful of all her family. She was known for having a loving relationship with and concern for the children in the family. Judy loved going to school and attended ENMU of Portales and Roswell to further herself in life. She worked in her early life and chose to be a vigilant caregiver for her parents until they both passed away. Judy loved life and her cats. She especially enjoyed the Christmas season and was known to start decorating in October with Christmas Angels and knickknacks. By November she had the yard decorated and was anxiously awaiting the fresh pine greenery to make a wreath for her door. December arrived and Judy was in the full Christmas spirit. She would stay in the spirit until March of the following year. Family and friends would always tease her about her everlasting Christmas spirit.
Judy was a lifelong resident of Roswell and enjoyed spending time at the old Hale home on the Hale Ranch in the Ruidoso, NM area where her father, aunts and uncles were raised.
Judy was never married. She is survived by a multitude of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins residing in New Mexico, Texas, Colorado and Arizona.
Many friends will miss Judy, among those is Michael Koonce, who Judy has remained a friend and neighbor to her through thick, thin and thick again.
Her friends at First Baptist Church were instrumental in her getting to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Judy participated in singing for the Living Christmas Tree and also sang in the choir at First Baptist Church in Roswell.
Many thanks to the Christians that helped Judy, among them Rick and Mary Hale of Grace Community Church. Judy enjoyed singing in the choir at Grace Community Church where she was a faithful member. She was proud to be part of the church and choir.
Memorials can be made to Grace Community Church, 935 W. Mescalero, Roswell, NM 88201 or Roswell Humane Society, 703 E. McGaffey, Roswell, NM 88203.
