Alice Virginia "Judy" Taylor was born on April 1, 1921, in Council Bluffs, Iowa, to Lynn and Hazel Franklin. She married Dean Hutchison, April 2, 1944. They had four children. Together they served their country as a military family until his retirement.  Judy loved to travel and handled being a military wife and mother with true grit; never seemingly fazed by what she had to do. Dean passed away in 1985. She later married Frank Taylor in 1989. Frank passed away in 2014.

Judy enjoyed playing bridge, traveling, reading, crossword puzzles, supporting her sports teams, watching Jeopardy (and please don't interrupt during that time), square dancing, clog dancing, rug-hooking, and various crafts.  She enjoyed animals and loved being around young people. More than anything she loved a good party; especially if it included her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She was always willing to take on new challenges like getting on a Jet Ski in her eighties; or riding a camel when she was 96 years old. She was always quick to laugh and was fun to tease. Everyone who knew her seemed to genuinely care about her.

Judy was thrilled to be a centenarian but after 101 years, her body just wouldn't cooperate anymore. Judy died November 22, 2022. She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister, Barbara, and husbands Dean Hutchison and Frank Taylor. She is survived by her children, Susan Vedder (Bart), Dean Hutchison (Linda), Sally Gabby (Michael), and Fred Hutchison (Sharon); 8 grandchildren; and 13 great grandchildren.  She leaves behind many friends and family including long-time friend Kit Orth, two nieces, Bill Taylor (Delores), Jim Taylor (Inez), Chris Watkins (Don), friends from Bishop Place, and from wherever she touched down. We all admired her and miss her.

A memorial will take place next year and burial will take place at Willamette National Cemetery.  Corbeill Funeral Home, Pullman, WA has been entrusted with arrangements.
