They made their home on a farm south of Baxter.  Judy worked for Newton Manufacturing, Vernon’s, and as a receptionist for JD Koon before staying home to raise her two sons, Craig and Mark.  Later she worked as a Program Technician for USDA Farm Service Agency in Newton for 25 years, retiring in 2008.  Judy was an active member of the First Lutheran Church serving on the Church Council, Good Cheer, Fellowship Committee, and the First Friends Group.  She was also the Women’s Chairman for the Jasper County Farm Bureau and a member of Neighborly Neighbors.  Judy enjoyed decorating her home, gardening, flowers, camping, traveling, baking and cooking, and playing card and board games. Most important to her though, was spending time with her family and friends.
