Judith was often called Judy. This great woman enjoyed so many things. She loved hosting and spending time with her family and friends. If she wasn’t baking or cooking, she could be found putting together puzzles, tending her flowers or canning various foods. She was quite the card shark, but not too wild to settle down to a good book. Her hands were also busy completing sewing and embroidery projects. She was a Kansas City Chiefs fan and would love preparing snacks and foods for friends to enjoy as they watched the games together.

Judith did enter into a union of marriage and mothered 5 children, which she is survived by. Daughters Cynthia Lee (Leo) Adams of Colon, Patricia Ann Brammer of Columbus, Sons Ronald Rae Stuenkel of Fremont, Robert Rae Stuenkel of Dodge and Scott Allan Olson of Scranton, KS.
