Obituary for Judy L. Wyckoff
Judy L. Wyckoff, 71, of Lambertville, NJ, passed away on Friday, April 12, 2019, in the home she loved, surrounded by the family and friends she treasured.
In Judy’s own words: Hi Y’All! If you’re reading this obituary column, it means I have closed another chapter of my story. I am now at the crossroads of a 4-way stop sign, waiting to go on another journey. After all, we are only here for a visit so please make the best of it. We do not have one second to waste on nonsense and hate. Don’t grieve for me, because I don’t believe in grief. I believe in celebration. Grief is not in my vocabulary. This is something I have discussed with my immediate family and friends, so they know my wishes-No grieving. I, along with my family, have decided to forgo any “crying the blues” time and at a later date celebrate with a good old fashioned picnic.
So now I would love to introduce my immediate family. I was preceeded by my parents, Linsey “Jim” Baker and Mildred Baker. For 53 years, I was married to my high school sweetheart, Walter “Brub/Brother” Wyckoff and continue to love him. We have one son and daughter-in-law Brian and Tracey Wyckoff; three grandchildren Brett (who is in the Navy keeping us safe), Jenna (high school student and loves field hockey) and Rylie (grade school and also interested in field hockey). The above are all the loves of my life. Sister Bonnie Reinhardt, nephew Michael Voorhees and great nephew Kaleb Voorhhes; sister and brother-in-law Margie and Paul Weber; brother and sister-in-law John and Pam Baker; nephew and niece Andrew and Jillian Baker, niece Sarah Baker and last but not ever forgotten, my best friends Dana and Rena Wood. Love all of you.
Now for my wishes. If anyone out there would like to send flowers, please don’t. Instead, I would like donations to be given to the Centenary United Methodist Church, 108 North Union Street, Lambertville, NJ 08530. They are a small but mighty congregation and like many old churches could use some financial help.
Oh well, I will miss you all, but remember - N0 GRIEVING – just celebrate my life. See you all again someday and remember – good deeds overcome evil, it just takes time.
