Judy Kay Mack Winget, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend passed away at home on December 10, 2014 after a courageous 4 ½ years battle with ovarian cancer. She was 70.
She was born July 1, 1944 in Logan, Utah to Frank M. and Lillian Christensen Mack. Judy and her parents moved to Salt Lake City when she was one year old and eventually settled into the Rose Park area. There her father found work after serving in World War II with the Chevron Oil Refinery in North Salt Lake.
Judy graduated from West High School in 1962 and attended a year at LDS Business College. She then found joy working for many years as a medical assistant for several local doctors.
In early 1971, Judy met her eternal companion, Glen Winget from Smithfield, on a blind date. They enjoyed long distance dating for nearly a year until they were married in the Salt Lake Temple April 21,1972.
They bought their first home in 1975 in the Morton Meadows area of Salt Lake City where they made lifelong friends and found it a good place to start a young family. In 1985 they moved to Centerville where they lived 22 years and added a host of additional friends. As Judy’s hips were failing, they built a rambler style home in Farmington and moved in at Christmas time in 2007. The house was all Judy’s design and served them both well through her last few years. Judy truly found her “This Is the Place” area with her neighbors and ward members, loving her as a true sister.
In her brief 70 years on earth, Judy has endured many challenges. It began with back surgery after her first child. But when moving to Farmington seven years ago, she underwent a double hip replacement, a broken wrist, ovarian cancer surgery, four complete rounds of chemotherapy, procedures on both kidneys, and a procedure to unblock her colon. Through all of this, not to mention giving birth to four children earlier, she was always upbeat and positive. Judy never complained about her situation, and maintained that beautiful smile through it all. She was truly a determined, brave, and gracious lady.
Judy has always been an active member of the LDS Church, holding positions as stake missionary, relief society counselor, primary teacher, Cub Scout leader, and ward librarian.
Judy enjoyed part time work at Country Cuzzins gas station on Parrish Lane. She most enjoyed her job as a designer and instructor at Roberts Crafts. When people really wanted to know how to do something, Judy always had the right answer. The last few years she was employed by Home Goods at Farmington Station. She truly thought of everyone there as family.
Judy was gifted at arts and crafts. She enjoyed wood cutting, toll painting, pen and inking, ceramics, quilting, cross stitch, and knitting, just to name a few. She even made her own wedding dress and won first prize in the state fair.
Perhaps the thing we will immediately miss the most is Judy’s Sunday dinners. Since all of her family lived close by, she thought it would be good for everyone to gather each Sunday for dinner and visit with each other. What a fabulous cook she was. She started collecting recipes as a teenager, and continued until just a short time before her death. She tried something new every Sunday.
What will be remembered the most about Judy is her unfailing love and devotion to family and friends. She fought the cancer with all her might so she could be here for them, and watch them grow and progress. She especially loved her children and grandchildren. Now she will be loving them and watching them from the other side of the veil.
Judy is survived by her husband Glen, four sons Chad, Cary (Brooke), Scot, and Eric. Grandchildren Kyle, Hali, Coby, Jace, Katie, and Zack, and Sister Barbara.
