Judy will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Thomas (Tom), of 63 years; daughters, Cheryl M. Takahashi of Apple Valley, MN, Julie A. (Jason) Whitcomb of Lisbon, WI; grandsons Jack Takahashi and Simon Takahashi; sisters Carol (Ralph) Yellick, Sandy (Paul) Tatge and Patty Peschl; brothers Gary Baker and Robert Baker and other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents Donald and Mary, sister Joan Heyer and brothers Gene, Jerry and Richard.

Private services were held.

Judy retired at age 55 after 23 years of service at Northwestern Mutual. It was here where she met a group of friends who together formed a "cake club." The club enjoyed many years of gatherings, good times and great food. Judy never met a cup of black coffee or bakery she did not love. Retiring "young," Judy was able to enjoy many years of water aerobics, reading, bird watching in her beloved yard, walks on the Seven Bridges Trail and in Seminary Woods, trips to Marco Island, FL, spending time with friends, neighbors and family, especially her two grandchildren.

Judy was a fun, feisty, compassionate and generous lady who will be profoundly missed by her family. If desired, donations can be made to Alzheimer's Association or Habitat for Humanity. Next time you have a cup of coffee or a piece of bakery, think of Judy with a smile. The family would like to extend a genuine thanks to the staff of Creek Side Terrace and Preceptor Home Health & Hospice for their kindhearted care.
