Marilyn "Judy" Piper peacefully passed to her Heavenly home April 24, 2024. She was born May 12, 1938 in Missoula, Montana to parents Ruth and William "Elmer" Daughtery. Growing up, she cherished her time with her extended family, especially her cousins in Montana. She was later adopted by Orville Hendrickson when he married her mother. She married Ronald "Gene" Piper in September of 1955.

Judy was a vibrant, energetic mother. She played and did activities with her children. Neighborhood children and her children's other friends were welcomed into their yard and home to play and often eat snacks or meals. She grew beautiful roses. Judy was active in the Presbyterian Church in Wahoo. She served as the church secretary for many years as well as other active roles. Her faith continued to grow as she found fellowship with additional fundamental Christians beyond Wahoo.
