Judith E. Bowlan was born to Ruth and Woods Bowlan in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. At the age of two she moved with her family to Alhambra and later to South San Gabriel where she grew up. She graduated from Mark Keppel High School in 1956. Following graduation from Mount SAC she worked at JPL where she met and married her husband Hans and was his loving and loyal wife and partner for 53 years. After being a homemaker and raising her son and daughter she worked for 23 years at Person's pharmacy in Glendale. During her school-mom years she was active in the Cubs, Brownies, and school activities. Judy travelled with her husband on car trips, cruises and tours, and visited many parts of the US and the world. She is survived by her husband, son Dan Richter and daughter Elise Langdon, son-in-law Jeff Langdon, grandsons Hayden, Colin and Morgan Richter and granddaughters Ashley and Taylor Langdon. She is also survived by her sister Ruth McCord and brother Max Bowlan.
Judy is remembered for her radiant smile, infectious laugh, happy personality, enthusiasm and love of people. She doted on her grandchildren and was intensely interested in their sports, education and life activities. She was an active bowler and participated in several bowling leagues and tournaments. She loved flowers particularly roses, phalaenopsis and cymbidiums. She loved sports and was a dedicated fan of the Angels and Bruins.
May she forever rest in peace.
