Judith Reynolds Staser, 84, of Dallas, passed away on November 6 in Marietta, Georgia. Judy was born
in Battle Creek, Michigan on April 13, 1936. She attended the University of Michigan, and received a degree in education.
On June 14, 1958, Judy married the love of her life, Joe A. Staser. After Joe's 32 year, 8 city career with General Motors,
they created J&J Antiques, a passion they shared for 12 years, traveling to England to hand-pick antiques. They shared a
passion for music, singing in various choirs throughout their marriage, which included a performance at the Vatican. They
were lifelong tennis fanatics and Judy was never far from a television if a major tournament was on. For the past 38 years,
Judy was active in the choir and bell choir at Arapaho United Methodist Church in Richardson. At age 60, Judy learned to
play the flute, and performed with friends in the Dallas New Horizons Band.
Judy loved animals. They raised and fostered many dogs and cats. Volunteering at the Plano Animal Shelter, she received
the 2006 Texas Animal Control Association Volunteer of the Year award. Following Joe's diagnosis of Alzheimer's, Judy
devoted herself to his well-being and care until his death in 2016. A loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother,
Judy is survived by 3 children, David (Monica), Joy (Glenn) and Brian (Julie), 10 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life ceremony will be planned for a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Judy's memory would be
appreciated to the Plano Animal Shelter, 4028 W. Plano Parkway, Plano, TX 75093, or to the music program at
