Judith Keffer Hinkle, 83, of Brighton Twp, passed away on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at Friendship Ridge.

Born on June 3, 1943, in Wheeling, West Virginia, Judy was the daughter of the late Ralph and Ruth Keffer.

During her younger years, Judy enjoyed shopping, dining at her favorite restaurants, and spending time with the dogs and cats she dearly loved. Her love for animals reflected the gentle and compassionate nature she carried throughout her life. Raised in the Presbyterian faith, Judy’s devotion to God was unwavering. Her faith was a constant source of strength, comfort, and peace and remained one of the most important foundations of her life.

Judy also loved to travel and take road trips, embracing every opportunity to explore new places and create lasting memories. Among her favorite destinations were the majestic Grand Canyon, the iconic Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the inspiring Mount Rushmore National Memorial, and the bright lights and vibrant energy of Las Vegas. She cherished the adventures, beautiful scenery, and special moments shared with family and friends along the way.

Judy is survived by her brother, Gary Keffer; her sister, Pamela (Angelo) DiLullo; her nieces and nephews, Chris DiLullo, Stacy (Nick) Custodio, and Julie (Bryan) Bova; and seven great-nieces and great-nephews.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the nursing staff of Friendship Ridge for their continued care, kindness, and support shown to Judy throughout her time there.
