Besides her work in the home as a loving mother and home-maker, Judy helped on the farm and was active in the Le Sueur County Pioneer Power Association and St. Anne’s Church. She enjoyed cooking and baking for family and friends. Wonderful family memories were made over the years celebrating holidays. Judy may be gone from this life, but her soul is at peace, and her memory will stay in the heart of those who knew her forever.
Judy’s family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff of the Benedictine Living Community in St. Peter, Abbot Northwestern Hospital, and Mayo Hospital for the kind, loving, and compassionate care.
