Judieth Ann Fairchild, 80, died on Sunday, Oct. 25, 2026, at Azria Health Longview Nursing Home in Missouri Valley. Judy was born on Oct. 7, 1946, outside of Little Sioux, to Morris and Alice (Bradley) Hall. She grew up around the Pisgah area, attending school in Pisgah. Judy began her working career at Wilkinson’s. On March 21, 1964, Judy married William Fairchild and they made their home outside of Mondamin. After getting married and starting a family, she then devoted her time to being a homemaker, raising her children, and caring for her family.

Judy found joy in life’s simple pleasures, especially her love of flowers and gardening. She enjoyed canning and crocheting, and loved watching the hummingbirds that visited her yard.
