Judith Miriam McFadden, called “Judy” by her friends and family, went to be with her Savior Monday, May 13, 2019.
Judy was born in Cream Ridge, Idaho, Dec. 7, 1932. According to journals that she had written of her recollections of her life, she was born at her parents’ home with the assistance of a doctor from Orofino. The doctor’s fee for the delivery was $50 and a hog.
Judy and her family attended the United Brethren Church at Cream Ridge. Judy states the church was the center of their social life, the members of the church being almost like an extended family. The farming families often hosted each other for Sunday dinner after services, and birthdays were celebrated by everyone in the community. Even though she was raised during the Great Depression, Judy had many fond memories of growing up in Cream Ridge.
Judy’s parents, Lee and Mary (Thain) McFadden, raised cattle and chickens and grew different crops at the farm. Judy and her siblings had many chores: helping their parents with livestock, canning the crops they raised, chopping wood and hauling drinking water from the spring was just a few.
The McFaddens moved to the Lewiston Orchards in the mid-1940s.
After Judy graduated from Lewiston High School, she worked at Rosie’s Drive Inn in the Orchards for several years. It was at this time Judy decided she needed to seek a more serious career. She attended a local business college for several months and then secured a job with an advertising agency. This led to a job at KRLC radio station, where she worked for many years until she decided she would rather work for herself.
In 1973, she purchased the fledgling Moneysaver Classified Ad paper. In 1977, Lewiston and the Orchards were divided into different carrier routes and home delivery of the paper was started. As circulation grew and different communities were serviced, the Moneysaver office grew and moved several times before it finally moved to its existing location at 626 Thain Road.
Judy’s ownership of the Moneysaver provided job opportunities for several of her relatives who also worked there for many years. Judy went into self-proclaimed “semi-retirement” in 1992, when she would spend just a few days each month doing the bookkeeping and help on the deadline day for ads each week. Judy always enjoyed music, gardening, quilting, crocheting, knitting, other handcrafts, and travel, and was able to spend more time pursuing these and other interests. The Moneysaver was sold to Eagle Newspapers in July of 2005.
Even though Judy never married, the family was always very important to her. Almost every holiday would include a family dinner where her siblings and many nieces and nephews would gather for a day of good food, fond recollections of earlier days and catching up on current events. Many vacations were enjoyed by this group, including annual fishing trips up the Lochsa River every August before school started. Judy was an instigator of many outings. One of Judy’s traditions, eagerly anticipated by her nieces and nephews, was to make a quilt for each one for their high school graduations.
Her faith in Jesus Christ as her Savior shaped who Judy was and was reflected in her actions. After moving to the Orchards in the mid-1940s, her family faithfully attended Orchards Community Church, where Judy taught Sunday school and played the organ, piano, and keyboard until she moved out of the area in 2013. Judy had many close friends in the church.
Judy was also very generous in giving to support various charities. One charity which was particularly dear to Judy was Africa New Life Ministries International, based in Portland, Ore. Over the years, Judy’s support of this ministry has helped them build a school and hospital in Rwanda. She had very fond memories of traveling to Rwanda to visit the child she sponsored and view the work of the organization first hand.
In 2013, Judy moved to Ocean Park, Wash., to live with one of her nephews and his family, and enjoyed her life at the beach, where she pursued her interests in oil painting and photography that she had shelved during her busy career with the Moneysaver. In Ocean Park, Judy attended and supported the Peninsula Baptist Church.
Survivors names omitted per findagrave policy.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Lee and Mary McFadden; her older brother Norman McFadden; and older sisters Lucille Bentley and Jeanette Johnson.
Judy’s celebration of life will be at 2 p.m. June 1 at Orchards Community Church. A graveside service will be held immediately thereafter at Lewis-Clark Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, please direct any memorial donations to Africa New Life Ministries International, 7405 SW Tech Center Drive, Portland, OR 97223.
