Thanks for being my mom! I don't have enough words to express how much you meant to me! I will miss you. Love, Judy Lee
In Memory of
Judith Eileen McMath
Judy McMath passed away Saturday, Feb. 8, 2014 while in the hospital after complications following an emergency surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm with her family by her side.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Doris and Thomas Lee and sister, Donna Lee. She leaves behind her beloved husband of 48 years, Henry “Hank” McMath, their 5 children and families. Daughter, Judy Frankson and husband Rick and their 3 children Meghan (17), Christopher (15) and Catherine (8). Son, Joey McMath and wife, Bridget and their 5 children, Justin (24), Jake (20), Kristin (20), Jessica (15), Karlie (13). Daughter Jeannie Taylor and husband Jeff and their 2 children, Blake (9) and Alexander “Pocket” (5). Son Jeffrey McMath and wife April and their 2 children, Kathleen (15) and Patrick (7). Daughter Jennifer Shamburger and her 2 children, Kealey (14) and Chandler (12). Great grandchildren Logan (2) and Blakely (1). Step mother, Catherine “Betty” Lee, Brothers, Jim Lee,
John Lee and Tom Lee and Sister Janice Molsberry and their families.
She entered into this life Oct. 5, 1945, the first child of six to Doris and Thomas Lee. She was taught a strong work ethic, honor, kindness and respect in her home. She spent her youngest years in Philadelphia. As a young girl her family moved to Levittown, PA. She attended Bishop Egan Catholic High School and graduated in 1963. She married Henry McMath Sept. 4, 1965. Together they have 5 children, 14 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. They moved and settled in Houston, Texas August, 1974.
Judy had a wonderful sense of humor and a very cool laugh. She was goofy and fun. She was simply happy. She had tough times and great times but it was all the same solid person for her. She worried but smiled. She gave no hint of pain; she was stable and dependable never showing signs of worry, tiredness or stress. She loved her 5 children and they loved her. She adored her 14 grand-kids and 2 great grand-kids and loved spending time with them eating ice cream and swimming! She was simply the best mom ever. We will miss her dearly!
The McMath Family would like to thank all of those who have reached out during this time of sorrow with kind words and deeds. It is heartwarming to hear the stories of love and sacrifice shared by those who knew her well. Words cannot adequately express how very much she was loved and will be missed.
A memorial service is scheduled for Friday February 21, 2014 at 10:00AM at Houston National Cemetery's Chapel.
A “Remember Party” hosted by her family and grandchildren will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Fisher House.
The family respectively requests no children at the service.

Mom, I can't thank you enough for raising me right. I will always remember your love and kindness. I will miss the sarcasm we shared and the times I talked only in movie quotes till I think you were convinced I was Rainman. Lol
Tell everyone hello for me and don't worry about us. We will be ok.
Love you mom.

I can't even say how much I miss you. I will always remember that you taught me how to be a great mom . The first person I called every morning was you and I have to remind myself that even though you are not here I will continue to talk to you every day. I love and miss you more than words can say. I know you are already watching out for us. Love and miss you.
