Judy Ann Gaisford Atwood, age 77, peacefully passed away surrounded by her family and loved ones on Saturday, November 9, 2013 at the Dixie Regional Medical Center in St. George, Utah. She was born a twin with James Nemo Gaisford on July 23, 1936 in Los Angeles, California to Walter Logie Gaisford and Danna Eckard Gaisford.
Nearly inseparable from her twin brother, Judy spent her childhood in Los Angeles, California where she graduated from South Pasadena High School and attended Pasadena City College. Her passions for swimming and diving led her to qualify for a place on the Olympic Swim Team. She had a love of the water and the ocean and spent an adventurous year living on a Chinese Junk. She dedicated a career to working in the dental field, assisting and managing front offices before retiring here to St. George.
Her devoted, giving and ever selfless nature made her the perfect mother to her three surviving sons, Arden D. Kelton, James A. Kelton and David S. Kelton. She is also survived by seven grandchildren, two great grandchildren and her brother, Dr. Walter D. Gaisford of St. George, Utah.
Graveside services will be held at a later date at the Salt Lake City Cemetery in Salt Lake City, Utah.
