Judy Dykes

Mason

Judy Dykes Mason, a devoted wife, loving mother, and faithful servant of her Lord, passed away from complications following a T-cell transplant in her courageous battle with leukemia. She was a resident of Erie, Co.

Judy was born on April 30, 1951, in Marianna, Florida. Judy was raised by her Grandmother and Grandfather in Greenwood Fl. At the age of twelve, she moved with her mother to Georgia, where she graduated from North Clayton Senior High School with the Class of 1969. Her school years revealed the remarkable person she would always be. She was named “Most Athletic” and “Best Actress,” lettered in Varsity basketball, served as Vice President of the Student Council, and worked on the annual staff. A member of the Junior and National beta Clubs and a fixture on the Scholastic Honor Roll, she was chosen for the Georgia Girls State Auxiliary Program and honored with the DAR Good Citizen Award, the WSB Young American Award, and recognition among the Outstanding Teenagers of America. Judy and Robert were married on January 20th 1973 and were married and sealed on October 22, 1982 in the Washington DC Temple.

Judy was bright, cheerful and endlessly generous with her time. Having faced multiple cancers over the years, she offered counsel and comfort to others fighting the same battles, continuing to do so even when she herself was ill. She devoted countless hours to genealogy, building extensive family trees for both sides of the family. She kept a room set aside entirely for her crafts and workshop, and she cherished the beach and ocean, especially the twice-yearly trips to the family’s townhouse in Panama City Beach.

A devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Judy served faithfully in the Relief Society, helping others in times of need. She loved teaching the children in Primary and lifting her voice in hymns. Those who knew her remember her as the sweetest, kindest, and most understanding of souls, steady and loving even through the family’s most difficult times.

Judy is survived by her husband Robert Mason with whom she shared 60 years together, 53 of them in marriage, and by her sons, William Robert Mason Jr., Brandon Nicholas Mason of Erie, Co. and Christopher Shane Mason, his wife Amber and step daughter Audrey Rose Martinez of Warrensburg Mo. Sisters Kim Thompson and husband Chuck of Loganville Ga. and Robin McPherson of Douglasville Ga.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 14 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 701 West South Boulder Road, Louisville Colorado 80027. A viewing will take place from 12:30-2:00pm, followed by the service from 2:00-3:00pm. Burial will take place in Georgia, with details to follow.

The family will receive friends at Hightower’s Memorial Chapel on Friday, November 20, 2026 from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.

Interment will be on Friday, November 20, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. at Collage Park Cemetery.

In the words of her husband, Judy was his wife, friend, life, and love. She will be greatly missed by family and friends until they are united again with their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
