Proud GG of Duncan, Charlie, Stevie, and Sunny Hess, Violet Graham VanOrder (in honor of "Graham Cracker"), and Abby Deuby. Dear sister of Peggy (Larry) Booher and Fred (Christy) Lang. She will be deeply missed by many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Judith was preceded in death by husbands James Mach and Charles Volker, parents Fred and Edna Lang, and sister Carol LaLonde.
Judy had many talents. She was a hairdresser, flower arranger, cake decorator, quilter, painter, seamstress, and cook. She made the best roast ever and her family often requested her strawberry parfait pies and black-bottom cupcakes. She was known as "Grandma Doolittle" for her love of animals. Music was magic to her even until the end, she was able to recall lyrics and sing along to her favorite songs. Most importantly, she loved her family so much and cared for everyone.
A memorial gathering will be held Tuesday, December 5, from 11:30am-5:30pm at Harry J. Will Funeral Home, 37000 Six Mile Rd., Livonia, MI 48152, with a memorial service beginning at 5:30pm. There will be a dinner following the service.
