Born on July 17, 1938, in Ganado, Texas, to Marshal Alvin Hessong and Rosalee Mae Hollub, Judy lived a life rooted in faith, love, and quiet devotion to those around her. She was a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose warmth and steady presence brought comfort to all who knew her.
Judy dedicated many years of service as a secretary at St. Joseph’s Hospital School of Nursing in Houston, where her kindness and reliability reflected her servant’s heart. Her Catholic faith was central to her life, and she was a devoted member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Conroe.
Above all else, Judy loved her family. She is survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Mary Ellen and Michael Richard; her children, Carol Ann Zdunkawicz of Montgomery and Patrick Edward Zdunkawicz, wife Rhonda of Bryan; seven grandchildren, Matthew, Ashley, Stacy, Brittany, Rebecca, Billy, and Jessica; and numerous great-grandchildren, who were a constant source of joy and pride. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, William S. Zdunkawicz Sr., her son, William S. Zdunkawicz Jr., and daughter Mary Regina Zdunkawicz. She is now reunited with them in the peace of Christ.
Visitation will be held at Metcalf Funeral Home in Conroe, TX from 5pm-8pm with the reciting of the Rosary at 7pm.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Conroe, Texas, on Tuesday, February 10, 2026 at 10:30am. Interment will follow at Garden Park Cemetery in Conroe, TX.
Judy’s life was a beautiful witness to faith, love, and quiet strength. May she rest in the peace of Christ.
