Judith Ada Williams

Judith Ada Williams, born June 26, 1916, joined the Lord on May 9, 2019.

She is loved and survived by daughters, Sue Rawlings, Nancy Alderman (Roger Olson) and son-in-law, Chet Bandemer.  Also survived by grandchildren, Ron (Janeen) Kohl, Sandra Kohl, Lisa Jo Bandemer, Todd (Lisa) Bandemer, Lori (Jess) Feltl, Shawn (Diane) Alderman, Bobby (Denise) Alderman, Josh (Jen) Alderman and Jeremiah (Jackie) Alderman.  Further lovingly survived by 13 great grandchildren, Jonah, Chelsea, Kiera, William, Christian, Sophie, Gracie, Jacob, Landen, Ava, Autumn, Allie and Ivy; four great great grandchildren, Mariah, Halle, Cody and Camden; sister-in-law, Betty Baker.  Additionally, she is survived by special friends, Tammy, Joyce and Nick, Doug and Greg, Leslie and Mike, Tony, Erica and boys, Tina and her daughter; many nieces and nephews, including all the loving staff and residents at her home of fourteen years at the Diamond Crest Apartments in Rogers.

Judith was preceded in death by husband, William “Bud”; daughters, Beverly Bandemer and Lois Kohl; grandsons, Troy Bandemer and Robert Kohl; son-in-law, Vince Egan.

Judith had a wonderful life!  She was born on the farm in Hankinson, ND, along with her seven siblings.  She loved school and was heartbroken that after the 8 ^th grade she was told she needed to stay home and work on the farm.  She moved to Minneapolis at age 19 and began a new chapter of her life.  Soon she met Bud and was smitten.  They married on November 6, 1939 and soon started a family of all girls!

Judy worked hard in all phases of her life—her family, careers, flowers and gardens, her home, church and most definitely her kindness and love for everyone she knew.  She loved all and in return was loved by many.  She loved the farm in Rogers and the apartment at Diamond Crest.

She will be missed by all of us, but we can be thankful for the small piece of her life that God allowed her to share with us.
