Judy Ethel Baker Pulver, of Pine Bush, long-time resident of the area, died Thursday August 29, 2019 in Campbell Hall. She was 70.
The daughter of the late Burton Wilbur Baker and Marjorie Riddle Baker, she was born February 12, 1949 in Hackensack, NJ.
Judy lived a simple life with a passion for the outdoors and was an animal-lover – especially horses, which she raised since her teenage years and bordered later in life. She provided a home to many animals – dogs, cats, goats, birds, horses, ponies – that had no other place to go. She was an astute film buff and an avid fan of westerns and the actor & icon John Wayne. She talked about these interests at length with family and friends and instilled a love of both of her interests in her children.
Survivors include her sons Kirby, and his wife, Jacqueline, of Brooklyn, NY and Kyle, of Asbury Park, NJ; her granddaughter, Una Lou, also of Brooklyn, NY; her two siblings, Joyce Bader and her husband, John, of Jamison, Pa and their daughter, Heather, of Milwaukee, WI, and George Baker and his wife, Barrie, of Tryon, North Carolina. She was predeceased by her nephew Scott Bader, her horse Lilybelle, her dogs Muffin and Becky, and her precocious parakeet Chippers.
Services were held on Saturday September 7, at the William M. Gagan Funeral Home and interment of ashes was at New Prospect Cemetery.
Memorial contributions may be made to Front Range Equine Rescue of Ocala, FL at their website to help to prevent the neglect and abuse of horses.
Arrangements were made by the William M. Gagan Funeral Home, Inc., Pine Bush.
