Judith Koehn Pinkerton, born Judith Lanelle Koehn Nov. 6, 1938, to Edward and Christine Koehn, passed away peacefully on Dec. 30, 2013, at the age of 75 in Milwaukee, Wis. Judy, or “Mimi” as she was known to her grandchildren, is survived by her siblings Roger, Michael and Patricia; sons Steven and Tad; daughters-in-law Lisa and Heidi; grandsons Brian, David and Blake; and granddaughters-by-marriage Susan and Jacquie.

Judy was born in Pasadena, Texas, and graduated from Renton High School in 1956. After her marriage to Stanley Dale Pinkerton in 1958, Judy moved to New Haven, Conn., with Stan while he attended Yale University. Judy and Stan raised their sons in Southern California but returned to Washington in 1983 to be close to Judy’s family in Enumclaw. Judy remained in Washington with her husband until Stan’s death in 2008, when she moved to Milwaukee to be near her son Steven.

Judy touched many lives through the several roles she played in her life, including being a mother, grandmother, Presbyterian Church secretary and a director/stage manager of community-theater. Judy had many interests, principally reading, creative writing and spending time with her family, but also including motorcycling, horseback riding and bridge. Mimi instituted many longstanding and cherished Pinkerton family traditions, for which her family will be forever thankful. She was devoted to her pets, which included horses, dogs and kitties. She was a life-long sports fan and especially enjoyed rooting for her favorite teams with her family. In Los Angeles, Judy was an avid Dodgers’ fan; in Seattle, her favorite team was the Sonics; and in Milwaukee, Judy and Steven bonded over watching nearly every Packer’s game together.

After several years without him, Judy has been reunited with her husband Stan. Judy will be greatly missed by the family members she left behind, as well as by the many close friends that she made throughout her life.

A celebration of Judy’s life will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 18, at Snohomish First Presbyterian Church.
