Judith Lynn Weigel

November 25, 1946 – January 15, 2025

It is with deep sorrow and love that we announce the passing of Judith Weigel, age 78, on January 15, 2025, at her home in Davis California. Judy was a devoted mother, grandmother, faithful Catholic, and a passionate librarian who dedicated her life to serving her community and enriching the lives of others through the gift of knowledge.

Born on November 25, 1946, in Cleveland, Ohio, Judy was the daughter of the late Otto and Sophie Jan. She attended Cleveland State and USC, where she earned her masters in Library Science. She and Jerry Weigel married on April 12th 1969. Together, they built a warm, loving home, where faith, family, and the love of books were cherished above all.

Judy’s career as a librarian spanned over 40 years, during which she served in various local libraries, including Bilbrew Public Library, where she became a beloved figure. Her passion for reading and learning was contagious, and she was instrumental in developing programs for children and adults that fostered a love for literature and learning. 

An active member of St. James Catholic Church, Judy was a devoted participant in parish life. She served as a sacristan, and volunteered in the church office. Her faith guided her every action, and she took great joy in living out the teachings of Christ through acts of kindness, service, and compassion.

Judy was predeceased by her husband, Jerry, in 2020. She is survived by their two children, Greg and Larissa. She was also the proud grandmother of six cherished grandchildren, Xavier, Nadia, Amy, Valen, Ethan and Isaac who brought immense joy to her later years.

A Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, February 7th, 2025, at 3:00 PM at St. James Catholic Church. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the American Cancer Society or to the charity of your choice in Judy’s honor.
