Judith Ann Fowler Kemry of Alton, Illinois, passed away on Friday, August 9, 2019 at the age of 77. Her family is comforted in knowing that she is no longer in pain and is now with so many people who love her. She has been reunited with her husband, Michael Kemry; her parents, John and Mildred DeArman; her brother, John DeArman, Jr.; and many wonderful friends.

Judith leaves behind her daughter, Rhonda (Dwayne) Hendrick; her grandchildren, Erica (William) Southard and Austin Lauck; her sister, Brenda Clink, and her sister-in-law, Elaine DeArman.

Judith had a kind and giving heart. She was passionate about helping others and channeled that passion through her nursing career as a licensed practical nurse for over 30 years. Her caring nature extended to everyone around her in life. She was a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother. Judith was a breast cancer survivor and found importance in raising awareness and actively participated in Relay for Life. She was a strong Christian woman who always remained strong in her Faith.

In her free time, Judith could often be found cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals, reading a good book, or tending to the flowers in her garden.

She will be dearly missed.
