Judith "Judy" Rankin Cromer was born on January 17, 1944, in Dayton, Ohio. She passed away peacefully on July 11, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

Judy was the treasured wife of Jesse Julian Cromer with whom she shared 67 years of marriage. Together they built a life centered on faith, love, and family.

She retired after 30 years as a school bus driver for Blanchester City Schools.

In addition to her husband, Jesse, she is lovingly remembered by her son, Randy (Kyla) Cromer; her grandchildren, Joshua Cromer (Leah Donahue), Christiana Cromer, Codie (Alicia) Cromer, Colleen (Russell) Aarons, Mallory Cromer (Braden Kendall); and her cherished great-grandchildren, Jayden, Audriana, and Tate. She also leaves behind a special family friend, Tracey Harlan, along with many other extended family members and dear friends who will forever treasure her memory.

Judy was preceded in death by her beloved son, Christopher Cromer, her parents, the late Harry Kenneth Rankin, and Cleta Mae (Ruth) Rankin Dunn, and her brother, James Rankin.

Although our hearts are broken, we are deeply grateful for every year, every moment, and every memory we were blessed to share with Judy. We find comfort in knowing that her body has been made whole, and that she was welcomed into the arms of Jesus and received into her eternal home in heaven.

Memorial donations can be made to the Foster J. Boyd Regional Cancer Center c/o Bethesda Foundation, 10500 Montgomery Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45242.

A private family service will be officiated by Reverend Jim Rankin.
