Judy Kay Feldbush

Judy Kay Feldbush was born on a snowy day, November 7, 1950, in Musgekon Michigan. She was so small her mom, Eileen, could have carried her home in a cigar box. Two months of the Michigan weather was enough for Judy and her family and so they moved to the city of Pasadena in sunny Southern California. Growing up with an older brother, Larry Clawson, a younger brother Jim Kimbrough and a younger sister Darala Kimbrough she was a beautiful, smart, typical southern California girl. Straight A student, fast runner, softball player, she loved reading, singing with her all girls group, “The Girls Next Door”, science and the unexplained.
Marrying Donald C. Moon Jr. in 1972, she welcomed her first and only child, Sally Ann Moon in July of 1974.  After a divorce she found her husband of 38 years, Arden “Shorty”  Feldbush, and soon settled in San Dimas for the rest of her life.
Immersed in their own business, Judy became a cornerstone, or Shorty's “Girl Friday” and worked hard to help build up their printing & direct mail company. Civic minded, she was a volunteer throughout her life in various projects for San Dimas. A member of the Rustlers and the Women's Wednesday Group, there wasn't a challenge she didn't take on.  From picking up trash, painting walls, digging holes for trees, hosting luncheons or shutting down streets for the farmer's market, Judy would do it all with a shy grin on her face and not a hair out of place. A lady to the core, she was known among her friends as a gentle, funny person... someone you could always count on to give sound advice or a helping hand. Never one for the spotlight, she never the less would light up a room with her grace and poise every time she walked in. 
An avid traveler, she and Shorty have been up and down the Pacific coast, drove through the Heartland of America, paddle wheeled up the Grand Mississippi, explored the wilderness of Canada, cruised to Alaska several times, Hawaii and even down the Mexican Riviera with her daughter. Antiquing was a fun passion, shopping was a serious undertaking. Judy never grew out of her love for the unexplained and would learn as much as she could of any subject that caught her interest.
With a heart of gold and strong convictions, she led her life with love and compassion and showed these attributes in her dealings with everyone she contacted. Judy was a woman  whom total strangers wanted to please and help while she in turn, 'passed it forward' to those in need. She will be sorely missed, a brilliant and warm light has been diminished with her passing. However, anyone who loved her or knew her will hold a piece of that light within their hearts and minds and carry her with them always.
To quote a favorite movie, “.. for better or worse, she is the voice inside my head.” Let her light shine brightly in each and every heart and mind, now and forever.
