It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Judith Ann Dillewaard on April 24. Judith was a beloved wife, mother, stepmother, and grandmother who touched the lives of all who knew her.

Judith is survived by her loving husband, Hendrik Dillewaard, with whom she shared 27 years of marriage. She was a devoted mother to her daughter, Donna Petersen, and a cherished stepmother to Marianne Hackney, Elsie Dillewaard, Angie Allsup, Francis Dillewaard, and Johnny Dillewaard. Her beloved grandson, Donovan Birky, always held a special place in her heart.

Judith will be remembered for her kind heart, infectious laugh, sense of humor, faith in God, and unwavering love for her family. Her gentle spirit and warm presence brought joy to those around her, and she will be profoundly missed by all who knew her.

We express our deepest sympathies to her entire family during this difficult time. May they take comfort in the memories of Judith and the knowledge that she will always remain in their hearts and minds.
