Judith was born February 25, 1943 to Norman and Bernice (Stock) Kleppe in Davenport, IA. She was united in marriage to Robert Paulsen on July 30, 1977 in Davenport. Together they owned and operated Bi-State Tire for over 20 years.

Judith was a devoted wife and mother. She was the glue that held her family together. She loved and took great pride in decorating her house throughout the year, and especially loved a fully decorated house at Christmas time. Judith was very task oriented and loved gardening, yard work, tinkering and fixing things. One of the most exciting times in her life was going paragliding in Mexico.

Those left to cherish her memory include sons, Chris (Wendy) Lobdell, Curt (Marianne) Lobdell and Anthony (Renee) Paulsen; sister, Katherine Allchin; grandchildren: Justin Lobdell, Devon Lobdell, Kharryn Dexter, Jacob Paulsen, Kegan Paulsen and Madison Jones; and great grandchildren: Alexis Lobdell, Logan Lobdell, Haileigh Dexter and Tillie Dexter.

She was preceded in death by her parents; loving husband, Robert Paulsen; and brother, Keith Kleppe.
