Emily Judith Bergdoll “Judie” passed away peacefully at 8:09pm on December 15th 2018 at St Francis Hospital in Indianapolis, IN. She died the way she preferred to live-- surrounded by family and friends.

She is survived by three daughters: Deborah (Kent) Thomson, Dianna Bergdoll, and Mandie (Tony) Wade and her dear sister Jill (Dan) Eastridge. She also leaves behind her grandchildren: Emily Flanagan, Kelsie Flanagan (Casey O’Brien), Kevin Flanagan, Alex (Emily) Thomson, Avery Thomson, Eian Flanagan and Eleanor, Jillian, Henry and Zachary Wade as well as 8 great grandchildren: Braeden Mobley, Kiera Hill, Owen Mobley, Kaiden Hill, Carter O’Brien, Cameron O’Brien, Adeline Maxwell, & Evie Maxwell and many nieces, cousins and friends.

She was proceeded in death by her brother-Stephen Mark Eudaly and her parents Dorothy May Shuler and Fred Eudaly.

When asked about her life she said all she ever wanted to do was be a mother and she worked hard to raise her girls. She was incredibly artistically talented and made some of the most beautiful crafts including sewing life-sized dolls and Christmas elves. She was an avid morel mushroom hunter and loved taking her grandson as soon as the lilacs bloomed. She never quit learning and one of her favorite programs was national geographic especially when they would show footage of Egypt. She was cremated and has given her family the task to sprinkle her ashes “where the mushrooms grow” mostly to ensure we would never quit hunting them.
