Judee enjoyed her family and keeping in touch often was important to her. She loved getting together with her siblings and reminiscing. Later in life she enjoyed her older siblings more as she was the second to the youngest growing up. She had many close years with younger sister, Diane, and older sister, Mary. She shared a huge bond with her brother, Bob, whom she misses greatly as he recently went to his heavenly home. She is survived by her children, daughter Terrie (Troy) Newton of Trufant, MI, Michael (Sarah) Geigle of Baldwin, MI, Wayne (Faith) Jones of Wyoming, MI; grandchildren, Travis (Heather) Hill, Nicholas (Katie) Fiting, Alexis Manciu, Krissy (Mike) Matone.
