Oakfield, Maine - I was born Judith Ann Dwyer on March 10, 1953, daughter of Virgil and Wilma (Bustard) Dwyer.

I was raised in Oakfield - a place I always loved - in a great neighborhood with grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, caring neighbors, and lots of friends. It was a great, wonderful childhood filled with unforgettable memories and life lessons. I graduated from Oakfield High School in 1972, and married and had four children, David, Brett, Kilby, and Nicholas. Then I had a calling to be a CNA, which I did for thirty-some years, and loved every minute of it. I loved helping all my patients to the best of my ability! I will miss you all and think of you often, but I look forward to seeing the ones I have missed for so long.

I was predeceased by my parents. I am survived by my husband, Bruce; my sons, David (Elisha) of Bangor, Brett (Kim) of Oakfield, Kilby (Ashley) of Merrill, and Nick of Smyrna. I leave my grandchildren with all my love, Nate, Torin, Madison, Trafton, Harrison, Callie, Ryder, and Tessa; five sisters, Joan (Harry) of Orient, Sally (Roger) of Bangor, Peggy of Merrill, Virgie (Dennis) of Oakfield, and Beth (Keith) of Oakfield; and one brother, Paul (Debbie) of Island Falls.

This is my journey, and I'm on my own. I'll remember and miss you all. I would like to thank my sister, Virgie, for all the daily visits and phone calls we had. You were my rock! Also, a big thank you to the United Baptist Church of Littleton for all the cards.
