Judith D. Bolton, 87, of Bedford, Indiana, passed away on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at StoneBridge Health Campus in Bedford.

Born December 7, 1938, in Bedford, she was the daughter of Lawrence and Theo Clark. She married Keith Bolton on December 27, 1957, and he preceded her in death on February 4, 2004.

Judy’s love was her family and the many kids she cared for over the 40 years in her home daycare, church family, sacred hymns of the church, as well as southern gospel music. Judy cherished her friends and always loved having an abundance of flowers hanging on her porch. It was her constant joy being called Maw Maw and the oodles and oodles of love that she received endlessly from her grandchildren that brought great joy to her heart.

Surviving are her son, Brian Bolton; grandsons, Bryce (Meghan) Bolton and Brandon (Lizzy) Bolton; and great-grandchildren, Berkley Bolton, Palmer Bolton, Paisley Bolton, and Bennett Bolton.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Keith Bolton; daughter, Julie Bolton; her parents, Lawrence and Theo Clark; and brothers, Larry Clark, Terry Clark, and her infant twin brother.
