Judy Hart

​

Judy Kay Hart, age 74, of Allendale, went to be with her Lord, Jesus on Monday, November 27, 2023. Judy was such a powerful force, yet a compassionate woman who loved wholeheartedly. She was gifted at sharing her real-life stories in a way that was funny, interesting, and entertaining. She fought for those she loved and made people feel safe and protected. Judy enjoyed hunting, fishing, racing, snowmobiling, camping and most of all, spending time with her family. She was very connected to her family and well loved by all. Judy retired from Prince Corp. after many years and loved being active and working hard even after retiring. Because of her leadership and work ethic, she motivated and inspired others to strive for their best.

God saw she was getting tired,

And a cure was not to be;

So He put His arms around her,

And whispered, “Come with me.”

With tearful eyes we watched her suffer,

And saw her fade away.

Although we loved her dearly,

We could not make her stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

Hard working hands to rest;

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the Best!
