On Monday, August 20th, 2018 Heaven received an angel when Judith "Judy" Self-passed peacefully in the home she shared with the love of her life and best friend, Mike Self, for 28 years.
Judy will be forever missed and remembered by her husband of 31 years, her 2 daughters, Christy Hall and Teresa Johnson, her two sons, Michael Self II and Joshua Self, her son in laws , Jon Hall and Dennis Johnson, her daughter in laws, Stacy and Jennifer Self, and her 12 grandchildren, Matthew, Kristen, Madison, Cassidy, Meredith, Brayden, Abbye, Alison, Ethan, Noah, Aubree and Ava. Judy will also be forever remembered by numerous brother in laws and sister in laws, nieces and nephews and extended family and loving friends.

Mike & Judy impacted this community through the restaurant they owned for over 3 decades, S & S Tacos in Ruskin, the home of the taco salad and wet burrito. While the food brought the locals to the restaurant, it was the special way Judy and Mike loved on people that kept everyone coming back. Together, they made such an impact on this little town of Ruskin.

When Judy was just 13 years old she received Jesus into her heart and she spent the next 63 years loving people the way Jesus did. She poured into people and spoke life and identity into her family and all those she loved and cared about. Judy was a special lady, full of God given gifts that enabled her to see people the way Jesus saw people. She cultivated deep relationships, and impacted lives for a living with her unconditional love, her kindness, her ability to see the best in people and because of such, her life was a testimony of a life that reflected Jesus. She taught her children how to have a God centered marriage through her example.

After her cancer diagnosis in February 2018, during this time, she reaped what she had sewed into so many. She was surrounded by all her family and people who loved her. She proceeded to live her life continuing to trust in Jesus, praising Him with joy and hope in her heart. During her own battle against cancer, she could be found praying over a list of people, because she was a prayer warrior and cancer did not stop her from doing her kingdom work.

Judy is now completely healed and residing in heaven and will one day be joined by her loving family.

A Celebration of Judy's Life will be held on Sunday, September 2nd at 6 pm at Wellspring Community church located at 705 9th St. SE Ruskin, Fl. 33570.

Memorial donations may be made in memory of Judy Self to Wellspring Community Church for their Benevolence fund to help other families in need.
