Judy Bergquist Obituary
Greendale - Age 81, Born to Eternal Life on Monday, March 9, 2020.
Born in Kenosha, WI to Julius & Ada Dase. Judy attended Bradford HS, KTI and was Miss Kenosha.
We are heartbroken as we said goodbye to our Mom and beloved Grandma.
We have been so lucky to have her in our lives.
Loving mother to Cindy (Mark) DeRosso, Lori, Karl & Christopher. Caring grandmother of Jason(Joanna), Blake, Sara, Hannah, Tyler, David, Natalie, Brady & Maddy. Dear sister of Darlene Russo and brothers Herb & Bill Dase of Kenosha.
She loved people and had widespread friends everywhere she went. She has frequently been called the "firecracker" because of her high-energy & involvement. She enjoyed fitness, reading, Key West family vacations and traveling the world.
Mom did not want a funeral so we plan on honoring her by having a celebration of her beautiful life this Summer.

Grandma
Things I feel most deeply,
Are the hardest things to say,
Dear Grandma I love You in a special way,
If I could have one lifetime wish,
One dream that could come true,
I'd prayto God with all my heart ❤,
For yesterday with you.
....Missing You Always.....

Big Red was the best grandma any grandchild could ask for without a doubt. I had the pleasure of spending a great deal of time with her throughout my childhood and we had more good/fun/exciting times together than I can honestly count. A few of my fondest memories with Judster were our frequent adventures to the Botanical Gardens/Whitnall Park, people watching at Southridge Mall, Fishing Trips to the Burlington Dam, her watching in fear as I horse around on the massive boulder in front yard, digging through the basement jam packed with treasures karl&Chris had left behind, Road Trips to Key west and of course "Power Walking" around the neighborhood(although I didnt think I liked Power Walking all that much when I was younger, I certainly cherish those times together now). There was definitely never a dull moment growing up with her in my life and I'm very grateful for that. In addition to her high energy lifestyle she had a up beat personality and sense of humor that were truly unparalleled. She had so many hilarious and witty sayings/phrases she would lay on me that always brought a smile to my face no matter what kind of mood I was in(People that knew her well know exactly what Im talking about). She was without a doubt a one of a kind independent woman that lived her life to the absolute fullest. As heart broken as I am to say goodbye to her, I can feel joy in knowing she is no longer suffering and most definitely "Power Walked" with her arms held high right through the gates of heaven. If someone were to ask me how I think Grandma would sum up her life in one sentence, I can just hear it now, her saying one of her favorite quotes "Oohhh....It was just WONDERFUUL". You will be missed Grandma and in my thoughts. Love you.

Rest in peace Grandma, I will always remember how lucky I was to get the chance to go on vacation to Mexico with you and my mom a couple of years ago and how every time you came over you made Blake and I the best brownies on the planet. I will always cherish those memories.
My grandma loved to travel, write, and take pictures of all the places she's visited around the world. I will miss all of her funny sayings, playing card games, and hearing about her trips across the world.We all love and miss you.
