Judith Ann Geerlings

March 11, 1944 – August 28, 2026

Judee, as she was known by her friends and family, passed peacefully in her home on Friday, August 28, 2026.

There are so many words that could be used to describe Judee. She was a true “Jill-of-all-trades,” a devoted Christian, an avid card player, a skilled fisherman, an amazing cook, and an all-around independent woman.

Judee was the kind of woman who could take a can of tomato soup and a bag of popcorn and turn it into a fantastic meal for seven children. She was the original “make-it-work” girl! No matter what life handed her, Judee always seemed to find a way.

Judee will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. In her home, you were never a stranger. Her door was always open, and there was always a hot meal waiting for anyone who walked through it.

And it should be said that Judee would have wanted one last chance to sit down withher poker buddies, who had become such an important part of her life. She was certain that one day she would finally win!

Judee was preceded in death by her parents, Hollis and Betty Murray, and her daughter, Melva Dorworth.

She leaves behind her loving confident & partner Bruce Hulett & six surviving children: Bruce Hulett II, Colleen Allison, Beth Robertson, Curt Davis, Donna Kuntz, and Denny Davis. Judee was a loving mother of seven, grandmother of 23, and great-grandmother of 41.
