Arnold, CA…”Judy” was born Judith Mae Young in Bisbee, AZ, on January 8, 1928, and raised in Tucson, AZ. In Arnold, the family built a cute little cabin (forest green with yellow and red trim) and the Alpine Drive-In on Old HWY 4. After retiring and moving to Hanford Hill (now Murphys), Judy took many natural history classes at Columbia JC. She was a long-time docent and founding member of the Calaveras Big Trees Association. She loved the Park and spent many enjoyable hours there giving tours and answering questions, earning her 3,000-hour pin. She loved local history and lore becoming a curator of the Old Timers Museum in Murphys.

Judy is survived by: son Eric Wayne Walters, Jr; daughter’s Laura Bailey, husband Garry; and Sally Walters Schmoldt; a granddaughter Michelle Bailey Taylor, husband Mike, great-grandson Jameson Bailey Taylor; and sister, Joyce O’Day Hobson of Myrtle Creek, OR.
