Judy Klingaman

Judy Klingaman, 81, passed away peacefully in the arms of Jesus on May 5, 2024. She was born on May 25, 1942, in Gillingham, Wisconsin, to Clarence and Marie Berry. She was the second youngest of eleven children. She married La-Mon Klingaman on September 2, 1961, in Richland Center, Wisconsin. Judy served Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior from an early age and was known for her compassion, service, humor, and cake decorating skills. Those who loved her dearly often referred to her as Judy Dear. Her greatest desire would be for you to join her in heaven someday, where she will (no doubt) greet you with a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
