Judith's Loving Heart: Family and Pets Need You

Dear Friends and Family,

Our beloved relative and friend Judith Kay Wyatt Thomas Ozols has joined her mother, father, two sons, Terry Wayne and Dennis, and her late husband Ernest "Bub" Thomas, and Glen, in heaven (the Spirit World) on February 27, 2025 at 939 am. She was surrounded by family and friends. Judy was known for being a very kind and giving person. She sacrificed much of her own life to take care of others in need and suffering from illness. She has left behind two precious pet-family members "Rider," a German Shepard-mixed dog, and "Sandy," a calico cat. Rider is still in need of prescription medicine.

My aunt Judy "Poody," or "Judy Kay," as we used to call her, always showered me with love. She was there for me when my mom passed when I was 13, and lived with me and my grandparents after my uncle "Bub," passed. A few of my best memories of her were wearing her high heels (she was only 4'11 in. tall), her amazing cooking and dinner parties, her fancy drinking glasses, and her sugar-plum Christmas trees.

Anyone who knew her also knew she was a strong willed, tough as nails woman, even in the hospital fighting pneumonia, she was so strong. But I know she longed to be reunited with her relatives, husband, and two sons. In the end, she knew she was ready to make her journey.

My hope is to celebrate her life with her remaining friends and family members and ensure her beloved fur babies are well cared for as she did in her life. Sandy was her late son, Terry Wayne's, cat.

Any small contribution you can give will help the family with the cost of cremation. Judy told me she wants her ashes to be released into the ocean. We, the family are planning this sea-side ceremony to be announced soon. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. If you want to make a donation directly to the funeral home, it is "Simply Remembered," 4289 State Street, Goleta, CA 93110, in Santa Barbara for “Judy Ozols.”
