Judith “Judy” Ann Purdy, age 70, of Ladysmith, peacefully passed away at home surrounded by her family on Friday, Nov. 27, 2020, and went home to be with the Lord.

Judy grew up in Caledonia, on their family farm. She loved reminiscing about times of showing her beloved sheep, riding horse and other memories of growing up with her brother and sisters.
Judy was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She enjoyed spending time with her family, traveling, lighthouse adventures with her sisters, Canadian fishing, music, and numerous trips with her husband and family to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
She worked as an office manager for her husband’s optometry practice for over 25 years in Ladysmith, where the community got to experience her joyous laughter and witty sense of humor.
The family received relatives and friends Thursday, Dec. 3, 2020 at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 515 W. College Avenue, Ladysmith, funeral services followed with Pastor Craig Zandi officiating.
