Judy Dirstine

Judy Dirstine passed away Nov. 8, 2024, in Libby, Montana at the age of 73. 

She was born July 5, 1951, in Puyallup, Washington to Byron and Arlene Rockstad. After graduating from Puyallup High School, she became a beautician and worked for many years in the Tacoma/Lakewood area. 

She loved her work and especially the relationships she developed with her many clients and friends.

In 1997, she married Mark Dirstine. After retirement, they made their home in Libby, Montana where they enjoyed an active and fulfilling life. Unfortunately, in her latter years, Judy developed kidney failure. Despite the difficulties associated with that disease, she fought a long and brave battle prior to her passing. 

She was very grateful to Dialysis Clinic Inc. and Logan Health Hospice Care Team for their kindness and expertise.

Judy was preceded in death by her parents. 

She is survived by her husband, Mark Dirstine; her daughter, Tiffani Thompson; her sister, Diane Falkenstein and brother, Byron Rockstad. Judy's memory will live on in the hearts of all those who loved her.
