Judy Wingo's Obituary
Judy Wingo (Joellen Robey Wolfe)
February 4, 1935 - June 13, 2026
Judy Wingo peacefully passed away on June 13, 2026, at the age of 91, in Austin, Texas surrounded by her three daughters.
Judy was born on February 4, 1935 in Glendale California to William Henry Robey and Genevieve Janis Bennett. She grew up in Texas, graduated from Lamar High School in Houston, and went on to attend Rice Institute (now Rice University), where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in 1956.
After college, she worked in downtown Dallas before eventually becoming a CPA. In 1992, she founded her own firm, Judy Wingo PC. In her business, she built lasting relationships with her clients and took her work very seriously, always striving to do things the right way. She continued working until 2017, when she retired at 82–still engaged and still caring deeply about the people she served.
Judy had a strong sense of caring. While in Richardson, she was active in the PTA and eventually served as the Texas chapter president. That work reflected who she was-–she cared about people being heard and understood, and she poured herself into making things better for children, parents and teachers. Many of her closest, lifelong friends came from those years.
Her faith was also an important part of her life. At St. Phillip’s United Methodist Church in Round Rock, she was part of a women’s Bible study known as “The Chicas,” a group she loved dearly. She also treasured the friendships she made in high school and college, staying in touch and gathering every few years—a tradition that continued well into her 80s.
Judy married Gene Wolfe in 1956, and together they raised three daughters. She later married Dale Wingo.
Above all else, Judy was a family woman. Her children and grandchildren were the center of her world. She created traditions, planned trips, and made space for togetherness in a way that was intentional and full of love. Some of the best memories are the simple ones–being together, traveling together, laughing around a table, or just being in her presence and feeling completely cared for.
Judy had a gift for making people feel seen. Whether you were family, a friend, or a client, she made sure you knew you mattered. That was just who she was.
She loved color and beauty in everyday life–zinnias and peonies, bright things, anything growing or blooming, art. She loved cats, chocolate and desserts, and anything that brought a little joy into a moment. Like her mother and grandmother, she had an artist’s heart and was always creating in some way, whether through art, ideas, or the way she made a home feel warm and alive.
Judy is preceded in death by her parents, Henry (H) and Genevieve Robey, her former husbands, Gene Wolfe and Dale Wingo and her granddaughter, Megan Mayer.
Judy is survived by daughters, Ellen Mayer (John), Alice Spelce (Doug) and daughter Carolyn Cameron (Joel); her grandchildren, Jenna Duncan, Kristen Newsome, Johnny Mayer, Matthew Mayer, Ben Spelce, Zach Spelce, Matt Cameron, Josh Cameron and Charlie Cameron; and her great-granddaughter, Lila Cameron.
Judy will be remembered by her deep love for her family, along with her steadfastness, her warmth, and her creativity. She leaves behind a legacy not just in what she accomplished, but in how she made people feel–loved, included, and important. She will be deeply missed.
Judy will be celebrated in a private family gathering. Any remembrances in Judy’s honor may be made to St. Phillip’s United Methodist Church in Round Rock, TX.
