Judith was born on January 14, 1955, in Fairbanks, Alaska, to Thomas and Arlene Cox. She grew up in San Antonio, Texas, where she later met Robert Joe White Sr. The two were married on June 12, 1976.

Judith dedicated 48 years of her professional life to Perry Hunter Hall, where she worked as a life and health insurance agent, continuing to work full-time until her passing. She truly loved her work and took great pride in the relationships she built with her clients over the years. To Judith, her colleagues were more than coworkers; they were an extended family. The friendships and connections she made throughout her career were a meaningful part of her life.

Judith was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Robert Joe White Sr.; her parents, Thomas and Arlene Cox; her sister, Barbara Cox; and her brother, Thomas L. Cox.

She is survived by her son, Robert Joe White Jr., and his wife, Tara; her daughter, Jennifer Emery, and her husband, Matthew; and her six grandchildren, Annabelle, Collins, and Samuel White, and Logan, Graham, and Quinn Emery. She is also survived by her sisters, Kathleen Hutcheson, Patricia Karambis, Debra Knight, and Teresa Howard.

Above all, Judith cherished her family. Affectionately known as "Nana" to her grandchildren, she found great joy in spoiling her children and grandchildren. She had a remarkable way of remembering the little things that made each person special, often surprising loved ones with their favorite treats or thoughtful gifts simply because she was thinking of them. Judith was a wonderful baker, especially known for her sugar cookies, though there was little she couldn't make in the kitchen. She also found peace and happiness in her garden, a special place that served as her own personal oasis. Through these simple but meaningful gestures, Judith made sure those she loved always knew how much they meant to her. Her greatest gift was making each person in her family feel remembered, loved, and special.
