(Bob) Flechtner, Jr.; son, Todd and daughter, Paige Hutchens; five grandghildren: Taylor, and Bren Flechtner, Megan Whitefield, Jacob and Katy Hutchens; one sister, Joan Hansen, numerous in-laws, nephews and nieces and legions of friends and neighbors both in Dallas and the Northport area of Maine where she and Bob vacationed for many years. Judy truly loved her dogs.  She also relished spending time with family, neighbors, tennis friends, book club group and shopping estate sales.  Her skills in the kitchen, especially her ability as a baker were widely enjoyed. Judy’s zest for life, empathy for her fellow man, and her smiles and laughter which were infectious will be missed by many here and eagerly welcomed by those who have passed on before her. There will be a celebration of Judy’s life on Thursday, August 29th, 2013 at The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd 11122 Midway Road, Dallas, Texas 75229.  The service will be held at 10:00 A.M. with a reception to follow at the church. In lieu of flowers, if you wish memorial gifts may be made to the S.P.C.A. or to a charity of one’s choice. Arrangements are under the direction of ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road, Dallas, Texas 75252, 214-306-6700.

    Dearest Bob…I got to experience that whole list of life-loves with Judy from dogs to antiques to Maine. WE found the house in Taos together and she’s had her slice of heaven on earth in Maine with you. Wonderful person and great memories. Bob, we love you.

    The last door closed on earth, the flames reduced her body to ash.

    Far above, beyond the vision of my eyes, a door opened to welcome in her spirit.

    “Surrounded by God’s Glory, what did her heart feel?

    Did she dance there with Jesus or in awe of him be still?

    Did she stand in his presence, or to her knees did she fall?

    Did she sing song’s of praises, was she able to speak at all?

    I can only imagine”……………………………..

    She went home, closing the doors left on this earth and opening the doors to eternal life.

    How Happy she must be! So today I rejoice in remembering her.

    I rejoice in knowing GOD, and his promise of eternal life.

    It’s that promise that allows me not to be sad when that last door closes,

    because beyond the vision of my eyes, another door will open to welcome me.

    Judy was one of the sweetest people that we have known. The day we moved into Encore she brought us cookies and a warm welcome. She will be greatly missed.

    Bob and Family,
    Judy,was my true friend for many good years! She was an inspiration to us all, and she made our tennis matches so much fun! When God calls us home, Judy will be waiting to greet us, with her melodious “Hello!” What a time of rejoicing that will be! This precious gal will be missed by so many of us friends and loved ones!

    Dear Bob, Though time has passed, it’s never too late to say what a joyous person Judy was to everyone she met. I know what it is to miss a “’till death do us part” mate. May you be encouraged and loved by the Presence of God in your daily life.
    Frances Pearce, a tennis friend

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
