Judy Ann Coffin passed away peacefully in Montrose, Colorado, on February 13, 2026, after a long and courageous battle with COPD.

Born in Burbank, California, to Arnold and Gloria Janssen, Judy grew up in Granada Hills and graduated from Bishop Alemany High School. Years later, she made her home in Nederland, Colorado where Judy worked as a teacher’s aide at Nederland Elementary, supporting and caring for countless students. She was also devoted to her role as a homemaker, creating a warm and steady home for her family.

Judy found lasting love when she married Bruce Coffin, with whom she built a blended family rooted in love and companionship. Judy and Bruce later settled in Montrose, Colorado, where they lived for over 25 years. They were truly each other’s partner in crime, best friend, and soulmate sharing travel adventures in their RV, cheering on football games, and enjoying the simple gift of time together.

Judy’s greatest joy was her family. She is survived by her beloved husband, Bruce Coffin; her children, Marcus, Scot, Cherish, Susan, and Lauren; and her amazing grandchildren, Ainsley, Dallas, Maria, Anthony, Marcela, and Isabella. Nothing brought her more happiness than being Grandma.

She loved reading, traveling, football games, and spending time with those she loved.

A Celebration of Life will be held this summer to honor Judy in a way that reflects the warmth and light she brought into the lives of those around her. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
