BOONE, Iowa—Funeral arrangements are being planned for Judith Ann (Paris) Sondall, age 81 of Boone, Iowa. She passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Monday, September 20, 2021.
Judy was born the 11th and final child of Cloyd and Olive (Martz) Paris on April 20, 1940 in Fraser, IA. She graduated from Pilot Mound High School in 1958. Judy worked at Fareway Stores, Inc. in her early adulthood.
On June 25, 1970, Judy was united in marriage with Donald Sondall at Bergen Lutheran Church in Roland.

She stood behind the veterans and their honorable service, loved animals (especially bird watching and her rescue dog, Cubbie) and was an unapologetic liberal.
