Cole, Judy Katherine Judy Katherine Cole, 71, of Bernalillo, NM, died Tuesday, November 5, 2013. She braved a two-month journey after her lung cancer diagnosis. She leaves her best friend and husband of 37 years, George E Cole, Jr.; his daughter, Christie (Scott) Logan of Placitas, NM; and his sons, Trey of Wichita, KS and Glen (Lisa) Cole of Tulsa, OK; five grandchildren, Aimee Logan (Jordan) Pearce of Houston, TX; Megan Cole of North Richland Hills, TX; Zach Logan of Dallas, TX; Michael Cole of Oklahoma City, OK; and Haley Cole of Oklahoma City, OK; and one great grandchild, Archer Pearce, who brought Judy such joy. Born in 1942 in Jacksboro, TX and raised in Graham, TX, she graduated from Graham High School in 1960. She is the daughter of the late Loren Max and Opal Katherine (Hamric) Klinger, and she also leaves her sister Jere Ann (Bobby) Kreaps of Edmond, OK; and three nephews Gary of Dallas, TX; Max of Oklahoma City, OK; and Michael Kreaps of Edmond, OK; of whom, along with their families, she was so fond. Judy and George moved from Tulsa, OK to Bernalillo, NM in May of 2007. Judy immediately secured a job with New Mexico Educator�s Federal Credit Union where she worked until she retired in December 2010. Judy never met a stranger and could put anyone at ease with her smile and warmth. She put these skills to good work and happily served loyal customers during her career in banking, and an interlude in the cosmetics industry. She earned lifelong friendships wherever she lived and worked in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. Judy�s southern accent always lead strangers to inquire where she was from. No matter where she was living at the time, the proud answer was always the same, �I�m from Graham, Texas!� Per Judy�s wishes there will be no funeral. A memorial gathering will be planned at a later date.
