Judy was born in Lincoln, NE and was the youngest of three sisters, born 13 and 10 years later than Geraldine and Barbara. She attended the University of Nebraska, earning her BA in Elementary Education; where she met Ira Livingston, Jr. (III) and they married right after graduation. She taught Elementary School in California, before moving to Pennsylvania to start a family. In Pennsylvania, she had her first son Ira IV, two adopted older brothers - John and Sam, and fourth son, Joseph. Then moving to Colorado her only daughter, Carol was born, and Judy became a stay-at-home housewife, mother, and was one of the first in the neighborhood to create a home day-care. Judy did all of that while Ira would change from an Engineer to a Presbyterian Pastor, eventually moving the three youngest kids to Two Harbors, MN, since John and Sam were college bound. In Two Harbors, she was a dental hygienist and a Pastor’s wife for only a year and a half, when Ira Livingston, Jr. (III) passed away. She then married Donald Kellett and our family expanded with two step-daughters Lisa, Lezli and adopting Don’s youngest son, Christopher. She then decided to return to school earning her MA degree in Education with a focus on Special Education, and then returned to teaching. Judy and Don divorced in 1999. Judy then remarried again, retired, and moved to Las Vegas in 2003 to be closer to her new husband’s child. The new husband consumed all her money and her children helped move her to Tucson in 2012 to be closer to Carol. This is where she spent the remaining years of her life until her last days in hospice care. She has been preceded to heaven by her parents, Joseph & Lucile Garrett, sister Geraldine Clapper, brothers-in-law Edwin Clapper and Jerry Krieger and, her husband, Ira Livingston, Jr. (III), step-daughter Lisa Kellett, sons John Livingston and Samuel Livingston...
