It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Judith Ann Hranac Burnette Hirschman, aged 78, born Feb. 3, 1947, died March 20, 2025.She was born in Lewiston, Idaho and was a long-time Aberdeen resident. She graduated from Aberdeen’s Weatherwax High School Class of 1965. Judi’s passions in life were her family and traveling. Judi worked at the local Hallmark store, where she eventually became the manager. She was employed there until the store’s final closing.

Eventually, she became a travel agent working with her friend to be able to subsidize her travel bug. She travelled to Italy with one of her younger sisters for the first time. This is where the travel bug developed. She and Terri took a trip to a small village near Lucca, stayed in a villa and that was all it took, and travel became a lifelong passion of Judi’s.

She has traveled to many European countries, Greece, China, and Thailand, plus several cruises that took her to tropical locations. Some of her favorites were her daughter’s wedding in Jamaica, a river cruise to Budapest, Hungary, but her all time favorite of the many trips she went on was a 30-day road trip through Italy. She always reminisced about that trip.

Her other most important passion was her family. She was fiercely passionate about her parents, siblings, children and grandchildren. Judi married her high school sweetheart Archie Burnette Jr. and they had a son Anthony. Archie was Killed in Action in Vietnam on Jan. 31, 1968. Judi later married Donald Hirschman, an Aberdeen firefighter, and they travelled the world together, and they both enjoyed this travel immensely.

Judi is survived by her loving husband of 56 years, Donald Dean Hirschman, her son Anthony Burnette Hirschman (Shelly), her daughter Trisha Ann Gallagher (Craig), granddaughter BillieAnn Darlett Shaw (Josh), granddaughter Brooke Diane Hirschman, and their mother Dorena Lybbert, her great-grandchildren Tanner, Paisley, and Truett, and her two sisters Terri Reinmiller (Jim) and Debbie McManus, along with many nieces, nephews and grands and greats. She loved all of them!

She is predeceased by her parents William Joseph Hranac, Fern Garnet West, her brother Thomas William Hranac, and her daughter Deanne Renee Malone, and her first husband, Archie Burnette Jr.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, May 10, 2025, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Montesano Moose Lodge, 3 Monte Elma Rd., Montesano, WA 98563

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly request that donations be made to the ryr1.org in memory of Judi and for her great nephew Lucas Reinmiller.
