Judith Ann Martin, Age 80, was called to heaven on Friday October 7th 2022 with her son Patrick and Daughter Linda by her side and holding her hands. Her passing was peaceful and pain free. Born in Bethlehem, Pa on May 27th 1942 to Carl & Evelyn (Stauffer) McKewen. Lifelong LPN working at Swedish American Hospital for over 20 years, completing her nursing career at Fairhaven when she retired in 2007. Favorite activities include playing dominos with Patrick and Granddaughter Natalie, birdwatching, scrolling through Facebook and catching up with friends and family. Our Mother was spicy, sassy and a bit dramatic but she loved her children and grandchildren fiercely. She always wanted her family to be together.
Survivors include her fiance Steve Lindaas, children Patrick (Wendy) Martin, Linda (Mark Sr.) Northrup, Tony (Marie) Martin. Grandchildren Natalie Martin, Jordan (Emery Alt) Martin, Briana (Patrick) Ditsch. Sister Linda (Kerry) Traupman and many nieces and nephews. Special lifelong friend Phyliss Bohlander. Predeceased in death by her parents Carl and Evelyn McKewen, Aunt Gladys and Uncle Walter Schaedler and numerous friends over the years.
We would like to thank nurses at OSF ER Nurse Kris and ICU nurses Lauren and Michelle for showing our Mother the love and concern she needed while they cared for her.
In lieu of flowers, Please take the time to reach out to your loved ones and spend time with them. Life is Short, Say I love you. Cremation rights have been accorded.
