Judith "Judy" Ann Decker

Onaway - Judith "Judy" Ann Decker of Onaway was called home to be with our Lord on November 5th, 2021 at her residence. Judy was born in Onaway to the late Orphia (Dunn) Cradit and father, John King. She met the love of her life in middle school, Robert Allen Decker, and they married on January 3rd, 1959. Together they raised three children, Mary Jo, Michael and Michele. Judy walked alongside her husband Bob for 37 years operating the family business. Opening Ace Hardware in 1970 in Cheboygan, they walked side by side until retiring in 2004.

More than anything in the world, her greatest joy was her family. She loved the holidays and made the most amazing meals. She was always there for her children and grandchildren whenever needed. She was known to always be our number one fan. Judy will always be remembered for her kind and gentle spirit. She will be dearly missed.

In addition to her parents, Judy was preceded in death by her siblings: Carla King, Sharon Williams, John "Jack" King, and Victor King; brother-in-law's, Charles Decker, Gary Decker and Roy Decker; her best friend, Geri McGinn; and step-father, Harold Cradit.
