Judi graduated from Calvin Christian High School in 1969 and worked for many years at Blodgett Hospital as well as Calvin College. Whether it was walking, running, or biking, Judi loved being active. She had a huge heart and passion for helping others and was always the first to step in and lend a hand to whomever was in need. She spent countless hours volunteering at Kids Hope, Young Life, and Starlight Ministries. Judi loved to bake and was well known for her many delicious treats. She had an infectious laugh and the most beautiful blue eyes that everyone would comment on. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Judi was preceded in death by her parents Gerald and Mary Brink; in-laws Justin and Carol Tieri; and three brothers-in-law Dale Goorhouse, Jerry Nelson, and Ron Grasman. Judi will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 51 years, Ronald Tieri; children Jason (Meaghan) Tieri, Megan Tieri Fenyoe, Nicole (Julian) Cornell; seven grandchildren Nolte Cunningham, Avery and Sullivan Tieri, Dashiell, Whitaker, Truman, and Cordelia Cornell; five sisters Marilyn (Ron) Grasman, Janice (Randy) Hart, Linda (Dave) Rhoda, Shirlene Leigh, Mary (Mark) McClear; and one sister-in-law, Connie (Jerry) Nelson; along with many nieces, nephews, and friends.
