On Monday, December 4, 2017 Judith Anne Ragsdell passed away surrounded by her family. She was 69.
Judy was born and raised in Watsonville, graduating from Watsonville High School, and attended classes at Cabrillo College. She was a devout Catholic who fully lived a lifetime of being a wonderful mother, grandmother, wife and friend to us all.

She gave us the gift of her time, care and love.

Judy is survived by her husband, Randy Ragsdell; and 3 children, Richelle Ragsdell, Brooke (Frederick) Remick, Katie (Raymond) Solorio. She is also survived by her sisters, Beverly DiBenedetti of Colorado, Patty Larkin of Oregon, Sandy Capps of Utah and half a dozen grandchildren.
