Judy Ione Archer

Judy Ione Lundin Archer, 73, of Grass Valley Ca, passed away peacefully with her daughter Tami Anderson at her side on June 21, 2023, after a long hard-fought battle with COPD. Judy was born on August 31st, 1949, in Eureka California to Ralph Kinley and Mona Blanch Lundin. She had five brothers, Jimmy, Jerry, Marty, Gary, and Larry Lundin. After Judy graduated from High school one year early in Tracy California, she went on to study to be a Dental and Medical assistance at San Jose College while also earning an AS in Business and Office Administration. Upon graduating from college, Judy started her first job at Arlington Laboratory in Sunnyvale CA as a senior process technician at the beginning of the Silicon Valley computer technology surge, kickstarting a 10-year career in computer processors. In 1978 she transitioned into business administration with the Webb, Maryland, and Hilton corporations until she finally found her calling in 1986 as an accountant for the Law firm of Perry and Spann in Reno Nevada. Judy retired from Perry and Spann in 2013 and moved to Tucson AZ. In 1968 Judy had one daughter, Tami with her first husband William Miller and one son, James with her second husband Mier Boychuk in 1970. Judy met the love of her life Ronald Glenn Archer in 1975 who she affectionately referred to as “her cowboy.” Judy and Ron stayed side-by-side for more than 41 years, living in Santa Clara California, Sun Valley Nevada, Fernley Nevada, and Tucson Arizona until Ron’s passing in April of 2016. Judy made her final move to Grass Valley California to be closer to family in 2018. Judy’s favorite activities were reading, traveling with her “Cowboy” Ron, and golf. She loved her family, friends and pets and was considered “mom” by many and loved by many more. Judy was a beacon of light that guided so many and the pillar and matriarch of a very large extended family. She considered everyone close to her as family and will be truly missed by all. Judy was preceded in death by her parents Ralph (1974) and Mona (1953), husband Ronald G. Archer (2016), brother’s Jimmy (2010), Gary (1991) and former husband’s William Miller (2017) and Mier Boychuk (1978). She is survived by daughter Tami Anderson (Tim), son James Boychuk (Tamantha), and her brothers Jerry, Larry, and Marty Lundin and their families. Grandchildren Alex Anderson (Liz), Tasha Wentworth (Madelyn), Jessica Hinsken, Zoe Boychuk, great-grandchild Willow Churchill, and her dearest friends Lee Groshon, Jo Mitchell, Lora Coker, and Jan Nelson. The family will have a celebration of life ceremony date to be announced soon, if you have any photos of Judy that we can share at the celebration of life ceremony, the family requests that you send to Tamie13@pm.me. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to the Alzheimer’s Association at www.alz.org, a disease Judy felt strongly about.
