Judy Cornell Moore

June 23, 1940 - February 27, 2018

Judy passed away Tuesday February 27, 2018 after a three-year battle with cancer. Her generous and loving spirit will be missed by all who knew her. Judy was a valued employee of Family Health Center of Benicia for many years. After retiring she traveled the world and enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren. One of her favorite things to do was to take walks on the beach and collect shells with her grandchildren. She took great pride in her family, and was happiest hosting family gatherings and meals. She would spend some of the summer months in Ohio with her mother and in Montana with her grandchildren. She always had a positive outlook. She always cared more for everybody else first. She loved life. She was outgoing, and made other people feel comfortable, no matter what. No person could ever ask for a more loving and supportive wife, mother, and grandmother. Even though we lost her to cancer, we do not want anyone to think for a second that she “lost her battle with cancer.” The truth is she did not “lose” her battle. She was a fighter, and she never gave up. She was given six months to live, which was 3 years ago. Cancer stole her from us, from our family. She is survived by her husband of 56 years (Bob), sons Rob (Carey) and Craig (Jenn) and grandchildren Christine, Robbie, Katie, Gabby, Raegan, Connor, and Sienna. She was preceded in death by her parents Greeta and Charles, and her brother Leonard. Per Judy’s wishes there will be no funeral or memorial services. Instead a Celebration of Life will be held at the Benicia Yacht Club Saturday March 31st from 1pm – 5pm. Please bring photos and great stories about Judy to share as we celebrate her life. She asked mourners to remember her “with laughter, love and a good glass of wine.” In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Mom's favorite charity, Guide Dogs for the Blind (https://www.guidedogs.com/support-gdb/donate/honor-memorial-giving) or Humane Society of the North Bay (http://hsnb.org/how-to-donate/).
