Judy touched countless people in her professional life, which included many years at The Andersons Grain Elevator, over 30 years as a Mary Kay consultant, and ended with a long, successful career at the University of Illinois, where she was an active member of The Secretariat and the Business and Professional Women’s Club. After retirement, she remained involved as a member of the St. Joseph Village Gardeners and St. Joseph Home Extension.
Judy was a strong supporter
of her children, enthusiastically helping whenever and wherever she could with their businesses, and she loved attending all school events for her grandchildren.
She will be greatly missed by all who knew her, as she was a kind, thoughtful and loving wife, sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend.
