Judy Ann Brown

Judy Ann Brown, 60, of Des Moines peacefully passed away May 8, 2017 in Des Moines, Iowa. A memorial gathering will be held at Caldwell Parrish Funeral Home & Crematory on Friday, May 12th from 5pm – 7pm, 8201 Hickman Rd, Urbandale, Iowa. Judy was born in Creston, Iowa to Robert and Addie Christensen on September 28, 1956. She graduated from Creston High School in 1974. Later, Judy earned a degree in Psychology from Iowa State University. Judy spent the majority of her career in accounting. Judy was a very creative person, working on one type of project and then moving on to the next. Some of her interests included stained glass, candle making, macramé and mosaics. She enjoyed sharing her skills with her grandchildren. Judy is preceded in death by her father, Robert, and her brothers, Dennis and Chris. Judy is survived by her daughter Dustie (Allen); her mother, Addie; her brother, Dave; and grandchildren Hayden and Callie. Judy was an amazing mother and grandmother. She had so much love for her family. Saturday mornings were always a special time. If you needed to find her all you had to do was check in with Dustie and the kids. The light in Hayden and Callie’s eyes always shined bright when she came to the door, Neena was here! She will be missed more than she could possibly know. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the family.
