Nov. 20, 1939 – May 27, 2026
Judith Ann Redd (Pass) 86, of Mount Shasta, California, passed away suddenly on May 27, 2026. GMA “J” (as she was endearingly known as), was born on November 20, 1939 in Columbus, Ohio.
Judy graduated from Columbus School for Girls, a private college-preparatory school. She went on to graduate from University of Miami majoring in Theatre production.
As time went on, Judy had three beautiful children and raised them, working two jobs as a single parent. Judy worked as an insurance claims investigator, fully involved in her role. Retirement came easy to help with grandchildren. Judy was a proud grandma and great-grandma. She loved being around family and friends.
Judy was a true Buckeye football fan, cheering for her team during the season. Judy was an avid reader of crime novels and culinary murder mysteries. She enjoyed listening to classical music, watching the Nutcracker ballet, and attended the Shakespeare in the Park Theatre productions.
In her younger years she would volunteer with the Picnic with the Pops and till this day kept up with politics and worked the polls. Her passions were being involved with the Eskaton Washington Manor as President and Vice President of the resident’s association. But her love for gardening filled her life with joy, “I am the happiest in my garden,” as she had most recently said.
Judy is survived by her loving children, Tina-Marie Pagan (h. William Pagan). Joseph Deliz, and Stacey Hanna (h. Craig Hanna), cousin, Bruce Bowers (w. Annie Bowers), and 8 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.
Judy was predeceased by her parents, Moehler and Phyllis Pass, (Uncle) Donald, Sr. and (Aunt) Helen Bowers, and their children Donald, Jr. and Patricia Bowers.
A celebration of life will be held at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, 507 Pine Street, Mount Shasta, California 96067 on Friday, June 19, 2026 at 3:00 pm, with reception to follow at the Parish Hall.
