Judy Lois Arend
1948-2026

Judy Lois Arend, 78, of Tooele, Utah, passed away peacefully on October 29, 2026.
Judy was born on March 24, 1948, in Bend, Oregon, to Richard and Lois King, as their only child.

Married in 1967, Judy and her husband built a life together and raised their family in California, living most of those years in Santa Clarita, California. Throughout her life, Judy was known for her independent spirit, sense of humor, and determination. She enjoyed raising pets, volunteering, scouting, and church service.

Judy dedicated much of her life to her service in the LDS church and was able to successfully fulfill a church service mission assisting those in need. She took great pride in her church work and developed many lasting friendships throughout her years of service.

Those who knew Judy will remember her quick wit, her strength, and the way she could make people laugh. She believed in working hard, standing up for what she believed in, and approaching life on her own terms.

She is survived by her husband, two sons, nine grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.

A memorial service celebrating Judy's life will be held on Saturday, November 7, at 10:00a.m. at the LDS church in Tooele, Utah located at 691 East Cedarview Street. Family and friends are invited to gather beginning at 9:00a.m for visitation. There will be no viewing.
