Upon graduation from St. Joseph High School, Judy worked for the Heath Company as a secretary in the Engineering Department. She also worked in the same capacity for Purdue University and Mark I Realty after her marriage to Bob in 1969. Judy’s chosen profession was being a mother and a homemaker which she did with perfection. She was a Brownie Troop Leader, volunteered at her children’s school and taught R.C.I.A instruction classes at St. Joseph Catholic Church. Her passion was her family and she loved to host events for family and friends attending to every detail to make it special for everyone. She collected clowns and angels, loved to find the perfect dishes for holiday celebrations and decorated her home with “treasures” from her global travels. She was a kind, thoughtful, and caring person who placed family and friends first. She and Bob were blessed to be able to celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary earlier this year. Judy is survived by her husband Bob; her daughter Amie (Tim) Edwards of Columbus, IN; son-in-law Mike Koch of Fishers, IN; three grandchildren-Kaleigh & Korey Koch & Lucas Edwards; siblings-Jim (Judy) Neuman of St. Joseph, Debby Pinkston of Perrysburg, OH, Marianne Genovese of St. Joseph; and several nieces & nephews. She was preceded in death by her daughter Laurie Koch on October 23 2007, and her parents.
