"On behalf of my sons, Steven and Stewart, and myself, I am so very sorry for your loss. She was the smiling face at the ticket counter for basketball and football games and such a wonderful example of a loving mother and wife. Our prayers are with all of you."
In loving memory of
Judy M. Fox
December 20, 1951 - March 4, 2015
Upland: Judy M. (Walters) Fox, 63, went home to be with the Lord Wednesday, March 4, 2015, at 8:30 p.m., with family by her side. She was born in Muncie, the daughter of the late Paul and Altie "Mildred" (Ring) Walters. In 1970, she graduated from Pendleton Heights High School. Later, she received her Life License in Business from Ball State University. She married the love of her life, Dennis Fox, on December 19, 1970, in Markleville. He survives. Mrs. Fox was very active with the Eastbrook Community Schools Corporation for many years substitute teaching, selling tickets for many ball games, sponsoring various school functions, a member of the Band Boosters, Athletic Boosters, and a secretary in the Eastbrook Junior High School office from 2004-2015. She attended Upland Community Church. She enjoyed being an encouragement to her sons during their school years, and she let that overflow to many other students, co-workers, and friends, as she gave of herself to others. She had been a wonderful care giver to her husband for the past several years while juggling work and other responsibilities. She also enjoyed reading, cross stitching, and spending time with her grandbabies and family. In addition to her husband of 44 years, Dennis, survivors include three sons, Brandon (Jessica) Fox, Indianapolis, Brennon Fox, Indianapolis, and Brett (Kayla) Fox, Fort Wayne; a sister, Joan Snodgress, Fishers; and three grandchildren, Makayla, Zo, and Levi. At the family's request, in lieu of flowers, they would prefer that memorials be made to the Eastbrook Athletic Boosters or the Eastbrook Band Boosters, 560 S. 900 E., Marion, Indiana, 46953.

"He Will Call (Job 14:13-15) JLife, like a mist, appears for just a day, Then disappears tomorrow. All that we are can quickly fade away, Replaced with tears and sorrow. If a man should die, can he live again? Hear the promise God has made: He will call; The dead will answer. They shall live at his command. For he will have a longing For the work of his own hand. So have faith, and do not wonder, For our God can make us stand. And we shall live forever, As the work of his own hand. Friends of our God, though they may pass away, Will never be forsaken. All those asleep who in God's mem'ry stay, From death he will awaken. Then we'll come to see all that life can be: Paradise eternally."
