Judith (Judi) Yvette Roach returned to the embrace of her Heavenly Father on June 23, 2023. She will be greatly missed by her large circle of loving friends and family. Judi was born in Louisville, Kentucky on February 3, 1950, the third of ten children born to Bob and Yvette French. Judi loved her son Travis and her family beyond belief. The first comment from her when she found out she had a terminal illness was the need to get all of her family together and to make as many fun and loving memories as possible. Judi lived for her family and was truly generous to a fault. Her oldest brother, who was also terminally ill at the time, had to stop Judi from sending funds that she herself needed to others, it was possible to get angry with Judi, but not to stay angry. She was quick to forgive. She had many life-long friends. Judi loved her Denver Broncos and was the most loyal Bronco fan in America. She never missed watching a game. Judi devoted her life to the care of others and worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant. She took her care-giving responsibilities seriously and was valued and respected by her patients and her coworkers. Judi is survived by four sisters, and three brothers as well as numerous relatives and friends. The absence of Judi in our lives will be painfully felt by all of us. She gave a true life-long example of self-sacrifice, total devotion to her family and her loving generosity. We love you Judi.
