Judy was born on December 4, 1943, in Evanston, Illinois, to Bob and Eileen Kendall. Judy loved to cook, garden, dance, laugh, paint, draw and go for a walks in the woods. She had fond memories of visiting her grandparents' camp on the lake in Northern Wisconsin with her family. She was curious about many topics and always learning throughout her life. She loved to sing at church, play the organ and grew up playing the accordion. She was always ready to lend a helping hand to a person in need whether it be a neighbor or member of her Lutheran church. Later in life she loved volunteering to assist the children at a local school. She had a similar child-like spirit and was always up for some fun. She adored her dog, Morgan, and before him, Schute.
