Judie James


(From Ulmer Funeral Home)

Judie “Parsons” James gained her angel wings Saturday, March 25, 2023. Judie was born in Carthage, Missouri on February 6, 1949, to Loren and Audrey Parsons. She was a graduate of Carthage High School Class of 1967. 

Judie was known for her love for her family. There wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do for a friend or loved one. She had the most beautiful eyes and the most contagious smile that could light up any room. Her love for her girls, grandkids, and great-grandkids never went unnoticed. Judie, also affectionately known as “Rose”, could be heard all over Carthage cheering and yelling for her favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs. Judie was an organ donor.








Judie is survived by her three daughters, Kim James of Carthage; Jamie Hansen (Tyler) of Webb City, Missouri, Keri James of Joplin, Missouri; her grandchildren Jerick Swarens (Sydnea), Klay James (Katelyn), Jaleigh James, Kaitlee James, James Dean, and Kennedi Grace; her great-grandchildren, Kyler, Jace, and Jett James, Khloe, Zabe, and Lyla Swarens, Jaxson and Jaylen Bird, and her loving companions Kookie and Koko and many nieces and nephews.

Judie is preceded in death by her parents her siblings Gene, Jerry, Peggy, and Lola and her former husband Jake James.
