58 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | SEPTEMBER 2020 Judith Louise Bricker Maxwell was born the day after Christmas in 1952 to Robert and Helen Bricker in Fontana. On Judy's 16th birthday, she met her future husband, Tracy Maxwell. They married two years later, in 1971, on a scaldingly hot September day in Riverside. In 1981, they welcomed a daughter, Sarah. After commuting to Cal State Fullerton to earn her business administrative management degree, Judy began a long and successful career in the men's surf clothing industry. After retiring, Judy and Tracy moved to the Four Seasons at Beaumont in 2014. They enjoyed meeting neighbors to play pickleball, and Judy joined the Tails & Trails dog group, bringing her 100-pound lab, Jack, along on walks. She loved chatting with neighbors at the Four Seasons bistro, helping plan large Fourth of July block parties, and visiting with her two siblings and their spouses (Debby and Charles Price and Paul and Joyce Bricker) who also lived at the Four Seasons. She was also thankful to have her younger brother, Jon, and his wife, Stormy, nearby, along with Sarah and her many nieces and nephews. After years of managing a rare genetic blood disorder, 2020 brought a sudden change in health. It was discovered that she had developed a rare form of leukemia that, when coupled with her blood disorder, was deemed incurable. In the last two weeks of her life at home on hospice, she was visited by all those who loved her. Tracy and Sarah were so thankful to have her home and to be able to love and care for her. God is good, and Judy was not in pain, although she was restless and was soon ready to join her mom, dad, brother Doug, grand-niece Courtney, and hopefully even her beloved lab Jack with God in Heaven. On July 1, 2020, she released her soul to rejoice and begin her new life. She will be remembered as easygoing, smart, funny, sometimes stubborn, and oh-so loving. She loved her roses, a good book, traveling with Tracy and her "sibs," checking your shirt tag for garment info, laughing at Sarah's impressions and stories, and spending time with her family and friends. Her family thanks God for all the memories created and love shared with Judy, and they are so grateful to have had her as a wife of almost 49 years, mama, sister, and aunt. She is home now.
