Judith M. McKimm

Judith “Judy” M. McKimm, 82, of Emporium, PA, passed away at UPMC Cole on Tuesday morning (May 23, 2023) following a brief illness. She was born August 3, 1940 in Ridgway, PA, daughter of the late Charles and Bernice (McCoole) McKimm. 

Judy moved to New Castle, PA at a young age and attended Union Township High School where she graduated in 1958. After graduation, she worked for the Edinburg and New Castle Post Office as a clerk and retired in 1992 after 32 years of service. She enjoyed her retirement by traveling and spending time with family and eventually moved to Emporium, PA to be closer to family. She enjoyed traveling, butterflies, crosswords, was a fan of watching bicycle racing, the Olympics, and was an avid reader.

Judy especially will be remembered for her spunk and carefree attitude. She loved making others laugh as often as she could and will be missed very much.
