Judy Ann Helzer

She was born to Elmer and Ollie (Hillerud) Allstot on March 16, 1953 in Brookings, South Dakota. She spent her early childhood years there until the family moved to North Plains, Oregon.

Judy graduated from Hillsboro High School in 1971. She married and later divorced Dan Little, with whom she had two sons, Jason and Brian.

Judy and Mark were married on February 14, 1991. She was the most devoted wife any man could hope for. She loved her sons, grandchildren, and great-grandson as much as life itself.

Judy was a homemaker who loved cooking, gardening, and spending time with her family. She loved to travel, especially to Hawaii or any place tropical, and in her younger years she loved camping and just being outdoors.

Judy is survived by her husband Mark; sons Jason of Pendleton, OR; and Brian of Vancouver, WA. She is also survived by her 5 grandchildren; Alyssa Brainard, Kyron Little, and Coen Little (Jason's children); Dylan Little and Payton Little (Brian's children); as well as her great-grandson, Benjamin Brainard (Alyssa's son). She is also survived by her brothers David and Dennis Allstot; sisters Delores Sylvester, Mavis Lewis, and Pam Gibbons.

Judy was preceded in death by her father Elmer, mother Ollie, sister Karen Davidson, and by three siblings who died during or shortly after birth: Barbara, Elmer Jr., and Donna.

She will be forever loved and missed by all who knew her. Her memory will live on in our hearts and souls until we meet again.

A Celebration of Judy's life will be held on Thursday, July 14 at 12:00 pm at Lincoln Memorial Funeral Home, 11801 SE Mt. Scott Blvd. in Portland.
