When Judy was working, it was bookkeeping. Although, It was not easy finding time to work between her 4 bowling leagues, her bridge card club, cleaning up after her girls and their friends, going to their sporting events, shopping, and spending time with family and friends. Judy loved her yearly trips to state and national bowling tournaments with her "Lucky Lane" girls.
Judy loved her grandchildren and they adored her. They loved being around her because she was a great listener, funny, and supported them in everything.
Judy entered Salem Lutheran Home in Elk Horn in July of 2021. She was battling end stage COPD and the beginnings of dementia. Thankfully, she always knew anyone that visited her and was still able to enjoy conversation with them. Judy passed away on Saturday, July 23, 2022, at the age of 77 years, two months and nine days.
