She was born November 14, 1935, in Terre Haute, Indiana, to the late Waldo and Pearl (Crooks) Barton.

She retired after 30 years of service as a Registered Nurse from the VA Northern Indiana Medical Center in Marion, Indiana, and the VA Medical Center in Bay Pines, Florida.

Judy's faith was an important part of her life. She had attended Marion First Friends Church and for many years played piano for New Hope United Methodist Church in Marion. She was also gifted with a love of music, enjoying both piano and accordion.

Her family remembers her as "the most positive person, who always saw the good in everyone." She loved sewing, crocheting, and quilting, studying the Bible, working puzzles with her family, and was always ready for a new adventure. Judy and her husband, Don, once took a yearlong journey across the country in their RV, and together they enjoyed traveling and square dancing. She lived her life with energy, optimism, and a joyful spirit.

She is survived by her children, Desiree Clouser, Marc Barton Clouser, Martin Earl (Rachel) Clouser, and Mel Ross Clouser, grandson, Maxwell Earl CLouser, three great grandchildren; Mason, Roman, and Johea Clouser. Nieces and nephews, Michelle (Mike) Price, Sue Riley, Terry Riley, Mike Riley, and Janice (Lynn) Bosher; and special friends, Karen Rumple, Pat Goff, Sue Owen, Laura Dillon, and Anna S. Drabenstot.
