Judith Joyce Craddock, 79, of Rockton, IL received her wings on Tuesday, February 14, 2023 at home surrounded by her loving family. Judith was born January 2, 1944, in Rockford, IL to Robert and Edna (Hall) Clark. She grew up in the Boone County area and attended North Boone High School. Judith worked many years for Warner-Lambert and Capron Manufacturing. She married Carl Craddock on August 15, 1981, and together they built a vending and distribution business, J&C Distributors.
Judith was a fun-loving woman who enjoyed crafting, casinos, playing Scrabble with her daughter and son-in-law, was always up for a game of cards with her friends, and most of all being with her family. Her pride and joy were her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
