Our dear mother, Judy Blatter, age 80, passed away on Friday, October 20, 2023.

The last of four children, Judy was born to Leonard and Lucille Bauman in Waseca MN.  She married in 1960, moved around southern MN in support of her husband’s farming profession, and had three children.  Shortly after the birth of her third child, Judy divorced and became a single mother.  At that time, Judy worked at the Faribault State School and Hospital.  In 1973, she moved back to Waseca with her children.  Over the years, she was employed at Carl’s Snack Shop, Birdseye, Misheks, EF Johnson, and Itron.  Judy often worked a second job, Mediacom and Walmart, on evenings and weekends. 

In 2011, Judy retired to southern CA to be near her daughter.  In early 2023, she moved back to MN with her daughter’s family. 

Judy enjoyed travel, cooking, shopping, family game night, interior decorating, and going to casinos.
