Judith Ann Yamuni - September 04, 1943 - February 16, 2021

Departed: 02/16/2021 (Warren)

Obituary Preview: Judith Ann Yamuni was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. She was the daughter of Anthony and Avis Beamer. Judy was also blessed to have two siblings Robert Beamer and James Beamer. At a young age much was asked of Judy. She was required to take care of her ailing mother and later in life would be asked to take care of both her younger brothers that fell victim to health challenges too soon.

While somewhat quiet and reserved, Judy had an eye for tall, dark and handsome. And one day she eventually found her match. A fine Costa Rican gentleman by the name of Abraham Yamuni. They would go on to have two daughters (Deborah Yamuni and Lisa Lee). Abraham was able to imprint hard work on their children while Judith provided the motherly love that every child needs and deserves.

Judy followed her faith very closely. Almost everything she would do, she would ask the lord for guidance. Daily decisions, interactions with friends/foes, how to participate in the church, and many other facets of life were solely driven by her faith and commitment to worship.

The two occasions that always brought abundant happiness to Judy was when she was with family and when she was worshipping at church. She was a true messenger of the lord.

Judy was also a selfless person and her happiness was routinely predicated upon others happiness around her. She was happy if you were happy and she was sad if you were sad. The size of her heart is what was most apparent to anyone who interacted with Judy.

Judy’s family lives on through her two daughters Deborah Yamuni and Lisa Lee. Her grand children Gary Lee, Lacey Lee, Matthew Blixt, Stephanie Platz, Danielle Blixt and Samaira Yamuni. And finally, her great grandchildren Zainab Mothana, Mila Platz, Abdul Mothana, Selma Mothana, Theodore Lee and Cassius Platz.

Judy, thank you for all you did for your family. Please rest worry free and enjoy being reunited with your soulmate, Julio. We all love you very much and look forward to the day we will see you again. Rest peacefully.

His story here on earth may have ended but his many stories of growing up on the farm in Canada, the big house on the hill, Comerica bank, hunting with dad & the many dances with grandma will live on.
