Obituary: Judie Scobee, Hood River
Judie Scobee passed away June 3, 2022 in Portland, Oregon.
Judith Ann Scobee (Benzel) was born on April 29th, 1936 in White Salmon, Washington to Jake and Cleo Benzel. Judie and her family moved across the river to Hood River, OR while she was still an infant, and was raised there with her two older sisters Bobby and Jackie. Judie graduated from Wy'East High School in 1954, where she met the love of her life, Gale. Gale and Judie were married on April 30th 1955 at Hood River Valley Christian Church.
Judie was a mother to three sons, Douglas, David, and Robert. Their family moved around frequently due to Gale’s career at Pacific Power and Light, but Judie made a loving home no matter where they were. After Gale retired in 1986, they moved back to their hometown of Hood River, where they purchased the family orchard from Gale's father. Judie worked at the Post Office located inside High School Pharmacy (formerly Ben Franklin) from 1987 until she retired 10 years later in 1998.
Judie was an avid artist and loved to paint and to teach painting classes. She enjoyed painting landscapes and flowers. Judie was caring, kind-hearted, and generous, and loved her family fiercely. She is preceded in death by her husband Gale in 2002, and her sister Jackie in 2016. She is survived by her three sons, Doug Scobee of Hillsboro, David Scobee of Hood River, and Robert Scobee, of La Crosse WI.
