Judy McConnell Obituary

Judy Gail Clark McConnell

Hamilton - Judy Gail Clark McConnell, age 72 of Hamilton, completed a life with love, laughter, and kindness. Judy was born June 8, 1948, to Vern Dexter and Earldean "Deanie" (Hendrickson) Clark, in Great Falls, Montana. She graduated from Florence Carlton High School, in 1967.

Judy married Jim McConnell on November 16, 1985 in Lincoln, Montana. They added a son, Jason, and daughter, Cori, to make this family complete. Judy was a past member of the Red Hat Society. She enjoyed being an election judge in Garrison. Her many interests were quilting, gardening, reading, raising chickens, cooking, bible study, and seeing her grandchildren grow.

Anyone that ever met her said, she was the most kindhearted, sweetest person they knew. Judy had a beautiful smile that could light up the room. She was loved by everyone.

Judy was preceded in death by her loving husband, Jim McConnell; parents, Dexter and Deanie Clark; sister-in-law, Helen Clark; and brother-in-law, Scotty.

She is survived by her son, Jason (Jenn), of Great Falls; daughter, Cori (Trent) of Deer Lodge; brother Jim; sisters, Barbara and Verna; 7 grandchildren plus one on the way; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Pallbearers are Jason Goss, Todd Goss, Trent Freeman, Art Freeman, Tim Haugen, and Sam Goss. Honorary pallbearers are Jim Clark and Bill Everson.
