Judith Elaine Sanders, 79, passed away on Thursday September 21, 2023 at Memorial Hospital in Bakersfield California. Judy was born in Tulare California and was baptized at the age of 12; her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ remained strong and her last Sunday was spent in church worshiping the Lord. During her life she exceeded as co-owner and creator of Hickman Harvesting and Trucking. She was the absolute best mother in the world and would fight off bears with a stick for her kids, grand kids and great grand kids. She was the life of the party, she loved camping, reading and gardening. She had a green thumb and could grow anything she broke off and took home. She was as sassy as the day is long and if she had her Bunny Slippers on, you better run.
