Obituary for COLE


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Sunday November 10, 2013

COLE, JUDY KATHERINE Age 71, of Bernalillo, NM, died on Tuesday, November 5, 2013 following a brief illness. She leaves her best friend and husband of 37 years, George E Cole, Jr.; his daughter, Christie (Scott) Logan of Placitas, NM; and his sons, Trey of Wichita, KS and Glen (Lisa) Cole of Tulsa, OK; five grandchildren; and one great grandchild. Born in 1942 in Jacksboro, TX and raised in Graham, TX, she graduated from Graham High School in 1960. She is the daughter of the late Loren Max and Opal Katherine (Hamric) Klinger, and she also leaves her sister Jere Ann (Bobby) Kreaps of Edmond, OK; and three nephews Gary, Max, and Michael Kreaps of whom she was so fond. Judy and George moved from Tulsa, OK to Bernalillo, NM in May of 2007. Judy immediately secured a job with New Mexico Educator's Federal Credit Union where she worked until she retired in December 2010. Judy never met a stranger and could put anyone at ease with her smile and warmth. She put these skills to good work and happily served loyal customers during her career in banking, and an interlude in the cosmetics industry. She earned lifelong friendships wherever she lived and worked in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. Per Judy's wishes there will be no funeral. A memorial gathering will be planned at a later date.
