Judy Ann Foutch, 68, passed away Thursday, July 21, 2016 at St. Anthony's Hospital in Denver, CO. She then gave gifts to others at Donor Alliance of Denver.
Judy was born March 29, 1948 in Lawton, OK to Thurman "Shorty" and Dorothy (Coley) Belcher. She married Robert "Bobby" Foutch July 9, 1964 in Lawton, OK. They then made their home in Guymon, OK, later they lived in Cottonwood, AZ for 16 years before moving back to the Oklahoma Panhandle living in Hooker, OK. She returned to Lawton to live in 2009 to be closer to her family while Bobby was ill and after his passing on June 23, 2011. In November 2015 she moved to Ulysses, KS to be closer to her daughters, grandchildren, great grandchildren and other family and friends. In March 2016 she chose to become a resident at The Legacy @ Parkview in Ulysses and was cared for there until her death.
Judy always enjoyed playing a good game of cards or a board game, with Scrabble being one of her favorites, but she enjoyed winning them even more. She liked the thrill of yelling "BINGO" and had a special method for getting the winning number to come up when playing. She finished many a crossword and word search book over the years. Judy recently for her 68th birthday had her first birthday party with family, friends, residents and staff at The Legacy @ Parkview. She ended the party with a ride on a Harley Davidson motorcycle, which she enjoyed and it brought back memories of when she used to ride on Bobby's motorcycle so many years ago.
