Judith Starr
March 31, 1941 — February 7, 2023
Judith Lorraine (Bell) Starr met her Lord and Savior and was reunited with her parents on February 7, 2023 at the age of 81.
She is survived by the love of her life, Kenneth Starr and their two children, Kenn Starr and wife Jacque, Sharon Lezzer and husband David. Judy (Juju) also leaves 7 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren (and one on the way), who filled her life with so much love and happiness. Andrew Starr and wife Gentri, Brittany Lezzer-Sopic and husband Shawn, Anthony Starr and wife Danelle, Alexander Starr and wife Jessica, Nicollette Lezzer-Lilly and fiancé Brett Sutika, Kenny Starr and Harrison Starr. Her great grandchildren Aveline, Nolen & Amelia Starr, Lucia, Esme & Jules Sopic, Ezrah & Elowyn Starr, and Peter Lilly. She is also survived by her younger siblings Linda Bell Sobie and husband Dan of Holiday, FL and Jim Bell and wife Sydney of Dubois, PA. and her Aunt Janet (Anderson) Maines of Dubois.
She was preceded by her mother, Betty Jane (Anderson) Bell and her father, Datus N. Bell.
Judy often talked about attending a one room school house, Point Lookout, in Philipsburg and memories at Third Ward school in Clearfield. Judy attended Amherst High School in Amherst, New York where she met her love, Ken. After graduation she became a beautician.
Judy and Ken married on November 8, 1962 at the US Airforce base in Zweibrücken, Germany, where they later welcomed their son. After leaving Germany, they moved to Omaha, Nebraska, then Williamsville, New York and then Toronto, Canada. They moved back to Clearfield in 1972 to raise their family. With the passion for crafting, Judy opened The Village Shoppe a Creative Craft Center and expanded to three locations. She was involved with Welcome Wagon, BPW and N.O.N. With the love of children and crafts she and long-time friend, Dottie (Evans) Crissman, started an outreach puppet presentation to children at the Shaw Public Library, in Clearfield.
Judy was a gentle soul. She was kind, comforting and lovable. The love that she had for her family and friends was exceptional. You were blessed to have been the recipient of Juju’s love and care. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were always welcomed by her smile and beaming love. She will be greatly missed by every one who knew her.
Judy had a gift of storytelling and always dreamed of writing a children’s book. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Judy’s memory to the Curwensville Public Library Story Time Program (601 Beech Street, Curwensville, PA 16833) and St. Francis Adopt a Student Fund (230 S. 2nd Street, Clearfield, PA 16830).
A celebration of Judy’s beautiful life will be held at Starr Hill Winery in Curwensville. An open Memorial service will be April 2nd.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
