Judith Whitlatch Obituary

Judy Delameter Whitlatch died peacefully on Wednesday, December 30, 2020, at the age of 84, in Portland, Oregon, after a long illness.  Her husband, Norman, was at her side.

Judy was born on June 29, 1936 in Portland, Oregon to James M. Delameter, Sr. and Josephine H. Chapman Delameter.  She grew up in the Portland area, and graduated from Beaverton High School in 1954.

From 1969 to 1981, Judy was at Tektronix in Beaverton, where she started as a secretary and worked her way up to HR Manager.  Judy and Norman Whitlatch wed in 1976, and for 44 years spent most of their married life in Lincoln City, where Judy was a successful real estate broker.  She was active in her community and served 17 years on the North Lincoln Hospital Foundation Board.  She retired in 2005.

Judy and Norm moved to Portland South Waterfront in 2007, where they greatly enjoyed downtown living activities.  Judy attended Beaverton High School Golden Grads every year and remained very close to her high school group of friends.

She is survived by her loving husband, Norman; her siblings James Jr., Joanne and Janice; her children Vicki, Karen, Edward, stepdaughter Lorinda; her grandchildren Jason, Brandon and Natasha; and her four great-grandchildren.  She was preceded in death by her parents, and son, Steven.  A memorial will be announced for a later date.

Judy was my mom. I called her my little mom as she was shorter and small. I love her always and this disease has been very difficult. It’s hard to believe she is gone. I have loving memories as she was a wonderful mom. I am happy she was married to Norm I call him dad. Every time I would leave there house in Lincoln city I would cry and she always smelled wonderful!! She was a real person as many many people lived and love her. I believe in god and know she will her soul be in heaven with my brother Steve and her wonderful parents my grandma and my grandpa will be reunited;)💕😇🌹. Dad was her hero and he was always there for her! The two of them were two peas of the same pod! Life goes too quickly to say the least! Thank you dad💕☮️ I miss my mom her voice her face her words her hugs and her phone calls. How’s my beautiful daughter today?! We will see each other in heaven.I love you so much!!!

Judy was my maternal Aunt and was one of the kindest and most thoughtful of gentle spirits I’ve been gifted to have in my life. She always thought of others first, and treated me with the sincerest of respect and love. I have many warm memories to treasure from over the years spent in Judy’s company and they are how I choose to remember her in my heart always. May she now rest free in that beautiful and peaceful place where the sea and sky meet in that soft golden glow. I miss you.
Love, Pennie

Judy was such a sweet and gentle sister. I have many wonderful childhood memories of us together, at the beach each summer with our family and taking rides in the car with our parents.
I will always love Judy very much and will miss her greatly, but am comforted that she is now in a better place.
Joanne
