Judy met the love of her life and best friend, Dave, through her brother, Ron Coertse. Within a year they were married and started their life together of 58 years. She worked at Kalamazoo Sled Company for approximately 3 years and at that time decided to start her new full-time job as a mother and homemaker. Judy loved her job as a full-time mother and homemaker, and did an awesome job as a wife, mom, grandma and great-grandma.
Judy enjoyed staying active with bowling, camping, boating, water skiing, family vacations, trips to Lake Michigan, the sun & beach, crafting, bargain shopping, taking lots of family photos, floating in Chris & Tim’s pool, and most of all spending time with her grandkids, great-grandkids and her puppy dog, Jessi. Grandkids always said she was the best cook and the only one who could make their scrambled eggs and macaroni cheese the way they liked.

(Debbi) Bradshaw; four grandchildren, Erin (Aaron Gilles) Bradshaw, Michael Bradshaw, Ashley Bradshaw and David Bradshaw; seven great-grandchildren; and a brother, Ron Coertse.
