Judy Ann Jennerjahn

Judy A. Jennerjahn, age 74, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Friday, June 8, 2018, as St. Elizabeth Hospital. Judy was born on January 25, 1944, daughter of the late Arlin “Jake” and Elaine (Cartwright) Zabel. After graduating from Oshkosh High School in 1963, she began working at Bucky’s Foods and Sentry Foods. Judy then worked as a CNA for Visiting Nurses Association as well as private home care. In 1975, Judy married her love and best friend, Thomas Jennerjahn. They celebrated 43 years of marriage.

Judy took pride in tending to her home; whether it be cooking, canning, cleaning, or ironing. She also enjoyed polka dancing. On summer evenings, you would see her as the smiling face behind the window of Lil’ Orbits Donuts at the WIR. Above all, she loved and cherished the time she spent with her family and friends, especially her children and grandchildren.

Judy is survived by her husband: Tom; children: David (Julie), Debbie (Scott), Rick (Dawn), Ann and Sue; her grandchildren: Karl, Sophia, Jennifer (Jacob), Kathryn, Megan, Shea, Jamie, Jacob (Ellyn), Mariah, Alyah, Jenna, Rebekah, Hannah, Haley and Gabriel; as well she her great grandson: Kroy. She is further survived by her siblings: Monna Zink and Stanley Zabel; stepfather: Carroll Steinbach; brothers-in-law: Roderick Wood and Peter Gorr; sister-in-law: Dolores Zabel; many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

In addition to her parents, Judy is preceded in death by her siblings: Dick Zabel and Beverly Wood; her brother-in-law: Dennis Zink; and nephew: Steven Zabel.
