Judie Johnson, age 82 of New Richmond, Wisconsin, formerly of Amery died Saturday, September 13, 2025, at Woodland Hills Assisted Living Facility in Hudson, Wisconsin.

Dear Judie, I will never forget how sweet and helpful you were; I will miss you! I’m sorry I can’t be there to say goodbye. You will have a special place in my heart and on the shelf here with the rest of the family members who went before you.
I will place you in my condolence corner, photo included.
A candle will burn daily for you and the others who went before you.
Rest in peace, my dear friend.
We sure miss you already. We couldn’t have had any better neighbors. Judie, with all your pain, you always managed a smile for us. And was always there if we needed something.
I (Don) grew up two miles from you.and went to the same high school. Lost track of you till you moved next door to us. It was a wonderful five or six years.
Rest in peace.
Dear Judy,
I’ve watched your funeral and memories video, it brought back so many memories.
Finally going to admit it, as a kid, I kind of had a crush on you. Lol
There’s not enough time to write all my great memories. For instance, riding with you and my mom in your Volkswagen Bug.
You were so cool. So nice and kind. Always happy. You made being up at the cabin a lot of fun.
Life passes by so quickly….
Judy, even I too have good memories of you. Tom shared much with me about you, I enjoyed every story he told me.
My 2 best memories of you, where my wedding shower being hosted at your house. It was so pretty and festive.
My most tender memory with you, was when my MIL Pat was on her lasts day on this earth. I wanted to keep her comfortable.
You understood me, and showed empathy, helping me take care of my concern in that moment. Meant the world to me. Your absence is felt.
Rest in Peace
