Judith Anne Minatrea

 Judith Anne Minatrea died Wednesday, June 16, 2010 after a long and courageous fight against kidney disease and other health issues.

Born in Pampa, TX on August 4, 1972 and married on April 10, 1991, she was a light in the darkness. Her strength and courage inspired all those around her. Her disease did not define her life. She was, first and foremost, a devoted mother to Laura and Ian. They are her masterpieces.

She is survived by Miles Kameron Minatrea (husband), Laura Anastasia Minatrea (daughter), Ian Alexander Gray Minatrea (son), Patricia (Pat) Lawrence (sister), Wm David Lawrence (brother), Kenneth and Sandra Minatrea (parents in law), Keenan Minatrea (brother in law), and the many others that loved her.

Judith wanted to continue to help people even after her passing and we have honored her wishes by donating her body to the UT Southwestern Willed Body program. There will be no formal service. Her family and friends will continue to celebrate her life throughout the coming years.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that a donation be made in her name to the National Kidney Foundation.
