Judy A. Jones, 81, of Argos passed away at 7:34 PM on Sunday, March 27, 2022 at Hickory Creek of Rochester.

On June 30, 1940, Judith was born in Rochester to Rex and Ruby Newcomb Halterman. Growing up she shared her childhood with a sister and two brothers. Proudly she graduated with the Class of 1957 from Richland Center High School.

After 22 years of service working on the assembly line for Eaton Controls of North Manchester, Judy retired in 2001.  As an avid sports fan, she watched everything from basketball to figure skating.  NASCAR was a favorite as she loved watching the Earnhardts, both Sr. and Jr.   Relaxing in the recliner, watching her Cubbies win was a great way to spend her afternoon.  She was very well organized and a collector of many things.  Many treasures could be found shopping at flea markets and Toto.

Judy cherished the time with her family, often preparing formal dinners for them. Her zucchini relish was always garden fresh. The tasty potato salad was shared with her family and special friends.

Judy kept journals, recording the special times and memories that she shared. As a 15 year breast cancer survivor, she was very thankful for the time with her children, grandchildren, family and friends.

Left to cherish the memories of Judy are four daughters: Sheri Jacobson and husband Jim of Rochester, Kimberly Eastwood of Argos, Patricia Jones of Argos, Jackie Whetstone and husband Bob of Macy; a son, Kevin Jones of Warsaw; ten grandchildren; eight great grandchildren; two brothers: George Halterman and wife Marilyn of Rochester, Ned Halterman and wife Jane of Rochester; and several nieces and nephews.

Preceding Judy in death are her parents, and sister Sue Tillman.

A celebration of the life of Judith A. Jones will be 12 noon on Saturday, April 2, 2022 in the Good Family Funeral Home, 1200 West 18 ^th St., Rochester. Chaplain  Todd Wilson will officiate.  Friends may visit with the family two hours prior to the service in the funeral home. The family asks that you wear casual attire.

Interment will be in the Richland Center IOOF Cemetery
