Judy (Allen) Looten

Judy Looten, 82, of Olean, passed away Wednesday, November 5, 2025 peacefully at her home surrounded by her loving family.

She was born on May 31, 1943, to Joseph Allen and Jean (Haynes) Allen (Reu) Reynolds. On November 26, 1961, she married the love of her life, Robert “Bob” Looten, and together they built a beautiful life and family on their farm in Olean.

Judy is survived by her daughter, Lynda; her son, Gary (Heather); grandchildren Ryan (Morgan), Brett (Anna), Alexis, Morgan and James; and great-grandchildren Peyton, Cora, and Lyla. She is also survived by her sister, Joyce (Luke) Campbell; stepsister, Patricia (Ronnie) Carroll; sister-in-law, Lynn Reynolds; and brother-in-law, Kenneth (Janet) Looten.  Several nieces and nephews.

Judy had a deep love of reading and found great joy in watching her grandchildren show livestock and grow into wonderful young adults.
