Julia "Judy" N. Jeske, 91, Stiles Jct., died peacefully Tuesday morning, May 14, 2013 at Sharpe Care surrounded by her loving family. She was born November 15, 1921 in Potomac, IL to Clinton and Edna (Henry) Judy. As a baby, she moved with her family to the Wausaukee area where her father could farm. The family eventually settled in the Marinette-Peshtigo area where she graduated from Peshtigo High School with the class of 1939. Following graduation from high school, she attended Marinette Normal where she received her teaching certificate and went on to teach in rural elementary schools in Goodman and Laona. As a teacher, she made certain all her students had good handwriting skills.
On February 9, 1948 she married Ervin H. Jeske in Iron Mountain, MI. Following their marriage, the couple settled in rural Oconto Falls where they raised their eight children, teaching them the value of family, a good education, a hard earned dollar, honesty being the best policy and service to country. Judy was a member of the Lena United Methodist Church until it closed and was attending church in Oconto Falls. She was a longtime member of the Audubon Society, the American Bible Society, charter member of the Women in Arbor Society, the American Conservative Union and Young Americans. Judy was also a proud member of the NRA, The Patrick Henry Tea Party and other organizations that promote true American values. She will also be fondly remembered for her love of history, spectacular flower gardens and riding her 4-wheeler on the Jeske Timberlands well into her 80's.
