Judith Rash's Obituary
Judith “Judi” Rash, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and soon to be great grandmother, passed away at home surrounded by her family on June 2, 2026.
Judi was born June 8, 1942, at Tacoma General Hospital. Her parents were Jarvis Neil Reed and Alice Margaret (Peggy) Ramstad Reed. She was a lifelong resident of the Parkland/Lakewood area, attending Parkland Grade School, Hudtloff Jr. High School, Clover Park High School, and Washington State University. It was at Hudtloff Jr. High (seventh grade) that she met her future life-long companion Skip. They dated in high school and college prior to marrying on December 29, 1962, during winter break at WSU. They were married for 63 years. Often asked when she first knew Skip was “the one,” she would always reply, “the day I met his mother.”
Judi is survived by her husband, Skip Rash, son Sean Rash and his spouse Jen Wrazen, daughter Sue Rash and her spouse Emily Rocks, grandsons Alex (Marion), Zachary (Jelly) and Matthew Rash.
