JUDITH ANN “JUDY” SKROCH

JUDITH ANN “JUDY” SKROCH

     Our precious mother, Judith Ann “Judy” Skroch, 80, peacefully ascended to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in Heaven after a 12-year crushing battle with Alzheimer’s Friday, Jan. 10, 2025, at Agrace Hospice in Fitchburg. She was born May 4, 1944, in Phelps, WI, the daughter of Art and Ruby (Harris) Heinig.

     Judy, at 28 years old, raised six children by herself, all under the age of eight. Judy’s strength and resilience, instilled love, structure, courage and strength in her children and dedicated them all to the Lord. Judy endured many sacrifices willingly to raise her children and gave of herself to all, never expecting anything in return.

     Judy was united in marriage to Emil “Sonny” Skroch April 29, 1989, and gained two beloved stepchildren. Together they ran an organic dairy farm and harvested the best corn I have ever tasted. Previously, Judy worked third shift at Central Wisconsin Center in Madison.

     Judy and Sonny prided themselves in living a healthy lifestyle, enjoying running and dancing. They ran many 5K and 10K races with multitudes of medals, ribbons and trophies. Judy was a Boy Scout leader and volunteered for church missionary trips in Mexico. She also loved to garden and bake bread and special cakes for each of her children’s birthdays.

     Judy is survived by her children, Tim (Mary) Moore, Jon (Jen Recoy Moore) Moore , Jeff Moore, Tamela (Jim) Foye, Trisha (Rick) Bultman and Tara (Otley) Freymiller; stepchildren, Kevin (Dennis Geise) Skroch and Raquel “Rocky” Skroch; grandchildren Evan, Jessica, Lauren, Joseph, Bella, Katie, Austin, Ryan (Michelle) Foye, Cassie, Nicholas (Emily Wink) Bultman, Peyton, Bronwyn, Daniel, David, Victoria and Jessica; great-grandchildren Abriella, James, Bently, Braiden and Elyza; sister Jeannie Harris; and brother Bill Heinig.

     She was preceded in death by her eternal love, Sonny; her parents and sister Pat Osborne Baker.

     A celebration of life will be held at a later date in North Bend, WI. Judy will be interred next to her husband, Sonny, at Bethel Cemetery, Independence, WI.

     An immeasurable thank you to Agrace Hospice for their gift of love and compassion through this difficult passing of our matriarch.
