DOD 11 Aug 2022
On the morning of August 11, 2022, Judy Kay DeLozier Williams passed away peacefully in Flower Mound, TX. She moved from Stillwater two years ago to be near her daughter Brooke Williams, granddaughter Drew Scarlett Hamby, and Drew's father, Ryan Hamby. A celebration of life will be 10:30 a.m., Wednesday, August 17, 2022 at the First United Methodist Church in Stillwater, OK. Burial will follow in the Fairlawn Cemetery under the direction of Strode Funeral Home and Cremation.
Judy was born to Ross and Opal on January 28, 1942, in Centralia, IL, and grew up in Cushing, OK. The family moved to Long Beach, CA, when Judy was a junior in high school. She took the massive California high school by storm and was elected student council president the following year. She had as her winning election slogan, "Don't Let Gender Hinder." After one year at UC Berkley, Judy came back to Oklahoma to attend OSU, and spent many Homecoming parades waving from the back seat of a convertible representing organizations as their honored queen. Popular on campus because of her beauty and charm, Judy was also a leader in the Angel Flight organization and Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. She graduated in 1964 with a bachelor's degree in Sociology.
After graduation, Judy began a brave and bold European adventure. She bought a Euro rail pass and traveled solo to Germany, France, Austria, Spain, England and the Scandinavian countries for the next year-and-a-half. She only took time out to rejuvenate with OSU friends living in Germany.
Upon returning to Oklahoma, Judy met Doug Williams, an FBI Agent from Woodward, OK. They married in 1968 and moved on to Bureau assignments in Birmingham, AL, and Southern California. After several years, they left the Bureau and returned to live in Woodward, where their children Drew and Brooke were born. Judy and the children moved to Stillwater in 1980. She enthusiastically supported her children and their many teammates who were involved in sports year-round. As a welcoming, entertaining and favorite mom, Judy's house on University Avenue was open to many kids over the years. In addition, she actively served the Stillwater community through PEO leadership, the Methodist Church, the Stephen Ministry, Kappa Alpha Theta, Browning Society, Fenton's Office Supply, and later, the OSU Foundation.
Judy moved to Dallas in 1998 to serve as Office Manager for the national field marketing company Mosaic. She returned to Stillwater in 2000 to care for her aging father Ross. She subsequently began her career at the Oklahoma State University Foundation, using her people skills and considerable writing talent in creating written correspondence to engage OSU Foundation donors. She retired from the Foundation and remained in Stillwater until moving to Dallas in 2020 to be near her daughter Brooke and her family.
Judy was an avid reader with many literary subscriptions. She was also a dedicated movie lover, sometimes watching daily double features as long as the theatre had fresh popcorn and Coca-Cola. Her pecan pies, cheesecakes, cookies and yeast dinner rolls were much favored and prized by fundraisers. Judy had strong, educated opinions and passions, like Native American art, American history, biographies, the national water supply, sports, movies, her custom-sewn sweatshirts, colorful sundials, Bob Seger's music, cooking, the color orange, Halloween decorations and flying pigs, to name a few. And nobody loved a kazoo like Judy.
She was known for her delightful sense of humor and contagious laughter among friends. Judy was good company, had an active mind, and was a great story teller. As one of her favorite stories, she described an encounter with Elvis at his concert in Oklahoma City when he looked right at her and winked.
She was playfully competitive and fun to be with -- and adored being with her granddaughter, Drew. Judy experienced tragedy in her life, but always met those challenges with unfailing strength and courage. We miss her already, but find comfort that she is with her son, Drew, and Our Heavenly Father.
Judy is preceded in death by her parents, Ross Melton DeLozier and Opal Brown DeLozier, and her son Drew DeLozier Williams, a well-known and honored Stillwater High School athlete, who died tragically 30 years ago.
