Judy R Jibben - January 30, 1942 - December 30, 2021

Departed: 12/30/2021 (Camp Point)

Obituary Preview: Judith Raye (Judy) Jibben, 79, of Coatsburg, passed away on Thursday, December 30th at Timberpoint Health Care Center in Camp Point.

Judy and her twin sister, Janet Kaye, were born on January 30th 1942, to Lloyd Wayne Decker and Marian June (Knight) Decker in Camp Point, IL.  They were born prematurely and Janet passed away shortly after birth.

Judy graduated from Quincy High School in 1960 and then from Quincy Beauty Academy.  In addition to being a beautician, she worked many years as a certified nursing assistant at several hospitals and nursing homes.  She married John F. Jibben on November 1st, 1968 at the United Methodist Church parsonage in Columbus.  They celebrated 53 years of marriage this past November.

According to Judy, her family was her greatest accomplishment.  She loved nothing more than having all of “her kids,” including grandkids, at home.  She cried when they got there and cried when they left.  She loved “big” and unconditionally, and if her kids loved someone, she loved them too.  Their only competition for her unconditional love was her dogs.  Judy was an avid reader, and murder mysteries were her favorite!  She also loved old country music.  Conway Twitty made her swoon and was only topped by Elvis “who could really move his hips”.  Visiting Graceland a few years ago was a dream come true.

Judy is survived by her husband, John; son, Monty and wife Danielle of Deerfield, IL; daughter, Melanie and husband, Jimmy Smith of Cobden, IL ; son, Matt and wife, Jane of Coatsburg, IL; grandchildren, Bryson, Samantha, Reed, Amanda, Elena and Alex; stepbrothers, Jeff Middendorf of Oklahoma, Joey Middendorf of Quincy and stepsister, Suzi Waters and husband, Thom, of Quincy.  She was preceded in death by her parents, her twin sister and her step-mother, Mary E. Decker.

Joe Leroy Williams - Unknown - October 30, 2021

Departed: 10/30/2021 (Camp Point)

Obituary Preview: Joe Leroy Williams, 86, of Quincy, died Saturday (October 30, 2021) at Good Samaritan Home in Quincy. Joe was born August 9, 1935, in Pike County, IL, a son of Ross Eugene and Lois (Waters) Williams. After the death of his mother in 1940, Joe and his brother Keith were raised by their paternal grandparents, Russell and Alice Williams, while their younger sister, Nina Mae, was raised by their maternal grandparents, Alfred and Nina Waters. He married Barbara Higley on August 27, 1955, in the Clayton (IL) Christian Church; she preceded him in death (2019).        Joe grew up in Pike and later Adams County, Illinois, where he was a 1953 graduate of Maplewood High School in Camp Point. In 1955 he went to Chicago where he enrolled in Coyne Electronics School and also received instruction at Devry Electronics School. Returning to Adams County he operated Williams Television Service in Clayton and was also a deputy with the Adams County Sheriff's Department under Charles Proctor.  In 1966 he gained employment with Illinois Bell Telephone Co. and later became a communications tech with AT&T after the breakup of the Bell Telephone system, retiring in 1991. After retirement, Joe worked for John Wood Community College as a communications facilitator in the Distant Learning Program.        As a young man, Joe enjoyed racing midget cars, competing in local racing circuits. These jalopies were so small that the drivers were wedged into cramped, one-man cockpits… yet for their diminutive size, each vehicle bore a powerful engine which sent the competitors tearing around the dirt tracks at breakneck speeds. Joe always displayed a fondness for classic automobiles, especially those of the 1950s, what he recalled as "my era". He was an avid NASCAR fan.       Joe was a Mason and a member of Faith Assembly of God Church in Quincy.      In addition to his wife, Joe was preceded in death by his brother, Keith Williams, and brothers-in-law, David Higley, Larry Gabel, and Roy Hicks.
