Chuck and Debra lived in Layton for more than 30 years and raised their four children: Jeremy, Aaron, Michelle, and Amy. Debra was a dedicated and active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in several church callings throughout her life. She was the unknown Scout hero of her family. For over 12 years she gave up her Friday night dates with Chuck and summer vacations so that Chuck could serve as a Scout leader in his church calling. She supported them also in their school and dance activities. She instilled in each of her children the importance of education and inspired them all to graduate with college degrees. She was a true scout, dance, baseball, basketball and soccer mom. She had a love for reading and literature and belonged to book clubs in the community. She loved the interaction with others discussing books and literature each month.

She worked in Office and Business Administration off and on while raising her family at Flur Utah Engineering (San Mateo, CA), TRW (Hill AFB), and Utah District Court (Layton).

She was preceded in death by her parents Jack E. and Flora Judkins and brother Kerry Judkins.

She will always be remembered for her unconditional love and a friend of all she came in contact with. Most of all she will be remembered for her testimony of the Savior and was an example of His teachings and attributes.
