Lula Juday Obituary
Lula "Opal" Juday, 98, of Goshen, died Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2025, at Goshen Hospital.
She was born Feb. 18, 1927, in Cayuga, Indiana, to George and Edna (Arnold) Greenawalt.
She married George Juday on April 3, 1943, in Goshen. He preceded her in death on April 14, 2015.
Opal was a lifelong Goshen resident and a devoted homemaker. She was a proud Cub Scouts mother, a member of the Porter Township Fire Auxiliary, and the 42nd Infantry Division Auxiliary. She had a love for Notre Dame football, and was an avid mushroom hunter. Opal cherished her family – especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren – and enjoyed cross-stitch. Known for her strong independence, she took pride in living in her own home until her passing.
