Judy Kay Cantrell, a beloved matriarch and cherished member of her community, passed away peacefully on August 20 2024, in her hometown of Moscow, Kansas.

Judy's life was a beautiful tapestry woven with the threads of love, compassion, and unwavering dedication to her family and friends.
Throughout her journey of 87 years, Judy embodied the essence of kindness and generosity.

Judy's life was illuminated by the joy she derived from her family. She never hesitated to lend a listening ear or extend a helping hand. The warmth of her presence and the love she radiated will forever be etched in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her. Her love knew no bounds for her grandchildren and great grandchildren, whether taking them in her home and raising them to going to every Moscow Wildcat activity she could. She was an incredible Nanny inside and out to her own and others.
As she transitioned to her eternal home, Judy joins her parents, Orval Lee and Leola Fay Slemp, her beloved husband, Henry Cantrell, and her cherished daughter, Tami Faylene Orozco, who all welcomed her at the heavenly gates.
