Judith Joy Brady-Ewert, 68, passed away on Wednesday, August 11, 2010 at Kalispell Regional Medical Center in Kalispell, Montana. She was born on October 31, 1941 in Staples, Minnesota, to Albert M. Brady, and his wife, Vera , both now in heaven , embracing Judy who joined them, and her three other sisters, Bonnie Jean and Dixie Lou, and Peggy. Most of the Brady family moved to Spokane, Washington when Judy was just a wee one, where she grew up. She married and had her first son, Joseph Walker, born at Fairchild Air Force Base, Spokane, Wa.
About the same time she became pregnant with her second son, Eugene Scott, born in Winstead, Conneticut, her husband was diagnosed with a severe illness and not long after this diagnoses, passed away. Sometime after, here come baby Kathy, the precious girl Judy had prayed for!! Judy never released her grasp of hope, and was always moving toward making a good life for her children, so when widowed Robert Ewert and his two children, Margret Anne and Robert Ewert, Jr. crossed her path, she believed that they could have a good life together, so, when he ask her “THAT” question, she most certainly agreed to begin again on the quest for success in happiness and they married October 2nd, 1976,at the Calvary Luthern Church.
Judy was an extremely strong woman, made that way by adversity in her childhood and God had gifted her with a talent and a deep love for cooking and baking, which she did with such passion! It was nothing for her to throw together a very extravagant 7 course meal for 10 people, setting her table with a flair that made everyone feel VERY special! And, in serving her guests, she made them believe they were indeed VIP’s!!!
One of her displays of strength came when their son Bobby died last November… she cried for weeks, but was determined to be strong for everyone else.
Over the 35 yrs of their marriage, they enjoyed camping, boating, serving many guests in their home, and had become very active in serving their community through the Moose Lodge. Judy really enjoyed the writing of their little “newspaper” for a few years!
In her strength, she was always there for anyone who needed help no matter how “busy” she was. And she was always encouraging the younger family members to “follow their dream” … she KNEW they could finish whatever they had begun! And PROUD of her grandchildren … YES SHE WAS!!! And she made sure everyone knew it!!!
