The following was written by Judi several years ago:
My journey began the 11th day of July 1950. My parents George and Dorothy Lingg of New Alsace, IN brought me into their world to live with them on their farm with my sister Monica and later Mary Ellen (I just had to say that one more time). It was there that I developed my lifelong love and dedication to animals.
I leave behind my beautiful and talented daughter Shauna (Robert) Steigerwald; my life partner Steve Smith, who loved me despite all my ills; my devoted sisters Monica (David) Wiggins and Mary (Leslie) Finn; and my nieces and friends.
My journey ended the 16th day of December 2024 with no regrets of a life well lived. My love to all, until we meet again.
