Judy Stark Obituary
Judy graduated from Seminole High School in Sanford, FL in 1968, going on to work as a bookkeeper for the family's trucking company while simultaneously dedicating her time to various church and local charitable bingo organizations.
Judy began scrapbooking as a hobby, which quickly turned into a business as her very creative and beautiful designs garnered her national recognition. Judy loved to travel, one of her favorite trips being to the Pacific Northwest with her husband. She also enjoyed playing darts and genealogy research, but anyone who knew Judy knew that the most important thing in her life was her family.
Judy is survived by her husband, Peter B. Stark; her three daughters, Fonda (Jeff) Jones, Tara Tesla, Kimberly Tesla; brother, Robert Washburn; sister, Joyce Washburn; her loving grandchildren, Joseph Holsclaw, Robert Sheehan, Cody Jones, Travis Jones, Hilary Wallace, Taylor Tesla, Samantha Tesla, Richard Holcomb, Cash Wiggins, Presley Wiggins; and her great grandchildren. Judy was predeceased by Robert "Billy" Tesla and her son, Joseph Lee Sheehan.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 23, 2022, at the All Souls Catholic Church, 800 S. Oak Avenue, Sanford, FL 32771. Reception to follow at Sanora Clubhouse, 235 Sanora Boulevard, Sanford, FL 32773.

It's so hard to believe that today marks two years since you left us. I know you're looking down on us and I know you see how much we have struggled with your loss and the difficulty we have living life without you, the matriarch of the family, our best friend, our Mom. I know you're no longer suffering from illness and I know the company you're keeping up in Heaven has healed the broken heart you had from all the losses you endured, and that is the only thing that brings me peace and comfort. I love you and miss you so much, Mom. xxxooo

Mom,
Today I did something I hoped I would never have to do, attend your funeral. Father Payne did a wonderful job with your service, and bonus, he´s an Elvis fan too! All the family and friends and all the beautiful flowers you received, I know you were looking down and smiling from above.
You were my best friend, my "ride or die" as we would jokingly say, and I miss you so much already. I hate cancer. I hate that you had to go through what you did, and if I could have traded places to save you, I would have. I love you and I´ll miss you forever. Until we meet again. xxxooo
