Judith (Judy) Gayle Fredrickson, age 65, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 after a lengthy illness at her home in Sedro-Woolley, Washington. She was born March 15, 1946 in Sedro-Woolley, Washington to Aurel (Wink) and Eleanor LaCasse. She graduated from Sedro-Woolley High School in 1964. Judy spent most of her life in Sedro-Woolley, but called Clallam Bay, WA her home for a number of years.
One of her accomplishments and greatest joys was her daycare, where her life touched many children’s lives, and theirs touched hers as well. Judy was a member of the Clallam Bay Red Hat Society and the Bazaar Crafters. She loved to sew and spent many hours making various crafts. She was also a wonderful cook and made fabulous pies and cakes, how appropriate that she passed on National Pi (Pie) Day! However, her greatest love in life was being a mom and grandma to all around her.
Judy is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Patricia (Patty) and Kevin Tyler of Smyrna, TN: sons, Dennis Fredrickson of Sekiu, WA and Glen Pizzuto of Port Angeles, WA. Her sister and brother-in-law, Nancy and John Dills of Sedro-Woolley, WA and her brother and sister-in-law, Tom and Nancy LaCasse of Montesano, WA. She is also survived by six grandchildren and many others who called her “Grandma Judy” throughout the years, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Judy was preceded in death by her parents and a nephew.
A gathering of friends and family will be held in July in Clallam Bay during Fun Days and Sedro-Woolley on a date to be announced later. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a charity that benefits children or a food bank, taking care of others was something she was very passionate about. Arrangements and cremation under the care of Lemley Chapel, Sedro-Woolley.
