BANGOR and WATERVILLE – Karin (Judkins) Hogan, formerly of Bangor and Waterville, died Nov. 22, 2011, at her home in Oakland, Calif., after a long illness. Karin was born Jan. 25, 1966, in Dexter, the eldest child of Fred S. Judkins II and Judith (Brown) Judkins.
She attended schools in Bangor and Waterville, and graduated from Waterville Senior High School in 1985, having completed her graduation requirements in just three years. After attending Colby College and traveling in Mexico and Europe, she studied at California State University, Hayward, and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in physics with honors. Karin married Michael Hogan, in September 1998, in Scotland, and they made their home in Oakland, Calif. Karin was employed as a computer scientist and test engineer in the nano-technology industries, and later she and Michael started their own business designing and marketing precision engineered metal components for the biotech industry. Most of all, she loved dogs and spent many happy hours in her dog-walking business.

Judkins and his husband, Luis Esteva Felix, of Walnut Creek, Calif.; her nieces, Jessica and Nathalie Judkins Cooke; her dog Layla; as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins from Maine to Oregon.
