Judith M. Kiesow, “Judy”, 71, of rural Fall Creek, passed away Saturday afternoon, May 9, 2015, at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, surrounded by her loving family.

Judy was a life long baptized and confirmed member of Zion Lutheran Church in Seymour Township.

While at home she enjoyed her greenhouse, her flower and vegetable gardens, canning what she raised and cooking and baking for her family and the many invited guests throughout the years. Judy was also known as having a soft spot in her heart for all kinds of animals. In recent years she cherished the time spent with her husband and friends traveling, especially the trip to Yellowstone. She enjoyed being with her church family, cooking whenever needed, helping with the Mission Board and volunteering with the altar guild.
