Born in Cottonwood, Judy ensured that as her children grew up, that they were connected with their family heritage with unlimited ventures through Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona, and the Verde Valley which entailed childhood stories and family markers.
Judy had a knack for making others feel better with just her contagious smile. She always put the welfare of others ahead of her own, whether it was raising two children as a single mother while working full time at Ralston Purina, or with friends and relatives who were having a rough time. She not only gave of herself but also gave whatever assistance she was capable of providing. Her warmth and kindness will be sorely missed. Judy was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother.
She is survived by her husband Robert Aguiñaga, children Lona Lee Pirtle, Douglas Shelden, and stepson Sean Aguiñaga; grandchildren Avalon Leigh Rosas, Dylan Shelden, Devin Shelden, Saraya Aguiñaga, and sister, Leslie Hamm. Judy was predeceased by her parents, Albert Pirtle and LaVeda Parker, and sister, Vicki Dycus.
A funeral service will be held on Friday, August 26, 2016 at 10:00 am at Lozano's Flagstaff Mortuary, 2545 N. Fourth Street. Burial will follow at Citizens Cemetery .
"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." – Revelation 22:14
