Judith Ann (Myers) Lebamoff

Judith Ann (Myers) Lebamoff passed away surrounded by her loving family on May 17, 2025 at 83 years of age. Judy was born on March 21, 1942 to the late J. Robert (Bob) and Ellen M. Myers. She grew up in Marion, IN and attended Marion High School, where she was a member of the cheerleading squad and was crowned the 1959 prom queen. Judy’s high school years included some of her favorite people and she stayed in touch with the class of 1960 as long as she could. In 1963, Judy earned an X-ray technician certificate from Indiana University, and worked in the field in Fort Wayne, IN. Later, she transitioned to hospital registration roles while working at Lutheran Hospital. Judy was an avid gardener, reader, and pool-floater. She was very community-minded and very proud of her adopted city, Fort Wayne. For many years, she was a member of Psi Iota Xi Sorority, a national philanthropic sorority focusing on art, literature, music, and speech & hearing. Later, Judy served multiple years as a member of the Board of Directors for her condo association, Woodhurst Condominiums, including Treasurer, Secretary, and VP. In Judy’s latter years, she loved reading the daily newspaper, watching the History Channel as well as multiple shows on the PBS channel, of which she was a donor.  Judy, as well as her brother, were strong advocates for continuous learning. Judy dearly loved her family, including her three children and four grandchildren, whom she shared with former husband, Mike Titus. She was a wonderful Mom and Grammy, always supportive and ready to offer a hug. She also made a delicious Peppy Lasagna, although she much preferred the eating vs the preparing! Judy is preceded in death by her brother, Robert (Bob) Chapman Myers (d. 2020), former husband, John L. Austin (d. 2008), and her husband, Dr. Nicholas J. Lebamoff (d. 2021). Surviving are her children: Cathy (Dan) Spieth, Craig Titus, and Laura Titus; her grandchildren, Paige Spieth, Sara Spieth, Quinn (Forrest) Titus, and Kelly Titus; and her nieces, Erin Myers (Lindsey Elkins) and Natalie Godfrey (Rodney). A graveside service will take place on June 30th, 2025, at 11 am in Grant Memorial Park, followed by a Celebration of Life for family only.
