Julia (Judy) Dierker passed from this physical world into her eternal  home on December 15. She departed peacefully, shrouded in the love and  prayer of her family. Judy is survived by her husband of 42 years,  Larry, along with her children, Julia and Ryan, and her grandchildren,  Dierk, Finn, and Bram.     Born and raised in Clarksdale, Mississippi, Judy's indiscriminate  compassion and acceptance foretold a life of service to others.     She graduated from Cahoma County High School where she was an excellent  student and tenacious defender on the basketball court. She received a  Bachelors Degree in education from Delta State University and a Masters  Degree in Library Science from Sam Houston State University.     Judy was preceded in death by her beloved grandmother Geneva Parrott  Campbell, her father Prentiss Crisler Campbell and her mother Mildred  Lane Underhill Campbell, as well as her best friend throughout her life,  Uncle George Campbell.     Judy led a full life, physically as an avid jogger and racquetball  player, at home in tireless devotion to her family and spiritually  through many Christian churches, education and outreach programs.     Judy was always a friend of the least, the lost, and the last. To honor  her compassionate spirit, the family requests that in lieu of customary  remembrances, memorial contributions in Judy's name be directed to  Best Friends Animal Society or Homeboy Industries. A tribute to  Judy's life will be held at The Foundry Church at 1 PM on Friday,  December 22.?
