Judith Ann Dunn

Judy was born on February 6, 1943, in Storm Lake, Iowa, to Rev. and Mrs. Calvin Stuebbe. She was the eldest of six children. When she was two, her father accepted a call to pastor Emmanuel Reform Church in Sutton, Nebraska, where they lived until Judy was 15. That year Rev. Stuebbe was called to pastor First Reformed Church in Aberdeen, South Dakota. Judy lived there until after her sophomore year at Northern State University in Aberdeen, at which time she transferred to the University of Idaho, graduating Phi Beta Kappa in 1965 with a major in English and a minor in music. Judy participated in various musical endeavors during most of her life, from church organist and pianist to ballet accompanist for several ballet companies, including Colorado Ballet. She was a member of the University of Idaho touring choir. As Miss Idaho 1964, she represented that state in the Miss America pageant and was awarded the Most Talented Musician scholarship, through which she was able to finance her senior year of college. Judy was also involved in various church activities through the years, including serving as a Bible School and Sunday School teacher. While her children were growing up, she usually had a part-time job besides ballet accompanist, such as grading English themes for the Denver Public Schools. After her children left home, she was employed full-time at the Public Utilities Commission in Denver, moving up to supervisor of the External Affairs Section. At the time of her death, Judy was area representative for Christian Women’s Connection, an evangelistic women’s organization under the Stonecroft umbrella. Judy leaves behind her beloved family: husband Gary; son David, his wife Rebecca and sons Keenan and Cody; son Mark, his wife Jodi and children Jake, Nathan, Joe and Lynae; and daughter Sara, her husband Scott and children Kayley and Alec. She also leaves her beloved siblings and in-laws: sister Carol and her husband Warren; brother David; sister Jean and her husband Gordon; sister Evelyn and her husband Robb; and sister-in-law Debbie. Her parents and brother Jan preceded her in death. She also leaves many nephews, nieces, cousins and friends. It is Judy’s fondest hope and desire that each of you follow the Lord Jesus Christ, that we will all meet again for a joyous reunion in Heaven.
