Judy Thompson

Judy Thompson, age 76, of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and formerly of Poteau, Oklahoma, passed away on July 17, 2026, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Judy was born on November 15, 1949, in Paris, Texas, to Erdice and LaHoma Jo Amend. Her arrival came just five minutes after the birth of her identical twin sister, Jane, marking the beginning of a life defined by deep connection and love. To know Judy was to love her. She possessed an unmatched zest for life, fun, and laughter that brightened every room she entered. Judy had a truly special way with children of all ages, earning her the affectionate titles of the ultimate “Aunt Judy” and “Miss Judy.” She loved fiercely and unconditionally; if you were fortunate enough to know Judy, you always knew how much she cared for you.

Judy is survived by her family: her son, Jeremy Thompson, and his wife, LeAnn, of Paris, Arkansas, their sons, Braiden and Gage; her daughter, Crystal Thompson Webster, and her husband, Tim, and daughter Holly of Tulsa, Oklahoma; her sister, Sheron Braden of North Richland Hills, Texas; and her brother, Bill Amend of McAlester, Oklahoma. She also leaves behind her chosen granddaughter, Hayley Swindle Barrera, and her husband, Alan, of Springdale, Arkansas, as well as a large, vibrant extended family that she loved beyond words, including numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles. Judy was reunited in peace with her parents, Erdice and LaHoma Jo Amend; her husband of 36 years, Lucian Thompson; and her cherished identical twin sister, Jane Calhoun.

A Celebration of Life Services for Judy will be held from 2pm – 4pm – Saturday, August 1, 2026, at The Cedars on Dewey 520 Dewey Ave Poteau, Oklahoma. The Family of Judy Thompson invites you to come enjoy a light meal and refreshments, to reminisce, share memories and a few laughs with them.
