Judy was a member of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church in Danube, MN, where she found joy and connection with her faith and community. Her passions extended beyond work and worship; she loved coloring, crafting, and indulging in personal care activities like getting her hair and nails done by the staff at her nursing home. Music brought her much happiness, especially the tunes of Elvis Presley. Judy relished the simple pleasures in life, including dining at McDonald's, attending church services, and engaging in games and card play. She also enjoyed participating in group activities like dancing and her favorite show, Wheel of Fortune.

Judy is survived by her loving foster family, consisting of James and Brenda Holtkamp and their family, Mike and Karen Rierson and their family, Steve and Sue Rierson and their family, Rick Rierson and his family and DJ Rierson. They remember her kind spirit and the joy she brought into their lives.

She was preceded in death by her father, Reinhold Reek; two sisters, Barbara and Marcella Reek; foster mom, Winnie Rierson and foster sister, Kay Rierson.

Judy's warm heart and cheerful spirit will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Blessed be her memory.
