Judith Ann Cole

August 5, 1937 - December 10, 2021

Judith Ann Cole, age 84, of Bella Vista, Arkansas, passed away on Friday December 10, 2021, in Bella Vista. Born in Williamsport, Indiana, on August 5, 1937, Judy was the daughter of Audrey and Jennie Renick. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brothers Bill and Chet. In 1957, Judy met and married Allan Cole and moved to Massachusetts. They raised four children, Bob Cole of San Jose, California, Steven Cole of Bella Vista, Debbi Hobbs of Chicago, Illinois, and Susan Scaggs of Bentonville, Arkansas. Judy loved her six grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren, as well as spending time with her extended family and abundance of friends. During her life, Judy had a variety of jobs, beginning with detasseling corn as a teen with her mother to executive assistant at Purdue University. She took much pride in her work with Nobel Laurate Dr. Herbert Brown, chemist, in maintaining his manuscripts and archives. Judy had a witty sense of humor and enjoyed her family and friends. She had a passion for music and was an accomplished flautist who loved exploring a variety of musical instruments. She was full of wanderlust and lived in many different areas of the country, making new friends along the way. Judy found great comfort in her Christian faith and friends. Anyone who knew her was touched by her kindness, humor, and mild temperament. Cremation was under the direction of Nelson-Berna Funeral Home in Rogers, Arkansas.
