Judith Kent (nee Goewey) Obituary
Kent, Judith Marie (nee Goewey), age 71, passed on to be with her Father, Mother, and Sister on Friday, February 19, 2021. She is survived by her husband of 50 years, Scott, her daughter, Carrie, her son, Jamie, many grandchildren, her brother Bob, and many cousins and relatives.
Born in Duluth, Minnesota in 1949, she graduated from Central High School in 1967; married Scott in 1970 and lived and loved with him for the next 50 years as they moved about the Midwest, ending up in the St. Louis area in 2002.
Judy had a love for life and was always a positive and outgoing person, even when diagnosed with cancer 7 years ago. It was a hard battle that she eventually lost, but she fought and stayed positive until the end.
Her love of life led to many adventures. She loved the outdoors, spending time camping, hiking, and watching for wildlife. Her times at the family cabin in Minnesota were always memorable and enjoyed by all that were around her. She will be missed by all that knew and loved her.
Services: A Celebration of Life will be held in Minnesota at a later date. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the American Cancer Society or Cancer Foundation of your choice. A service of the SCHRADER Funeral Home and Crematory. Friends may sign the family's on-line guestbook at Schrader.com.

Auntie Judy was one of the most heartwarmingly sunny people I have ever had the pleasure to know. Each time I saw her she always had a smile behind her eyes, no matter the circumstances. And although we will greatly miss her exuberance, her memory will continue to enrich all our lives. Miss you already, Auntie Judy.

No words can fully describe how much mom was loved and how much she will be missed. I am so thankful to have had such a warm, positive, kind, and encouraging mom. I will miss her terribly but am so very grateful for the time we had together. I love you mom.

I don't know how I could possibly write anything that would live up to your strength and kindness. You'll always have a special place in my heart and I'll think of you every time I see a lighthouse, drink coffee, spot a deer, or dip my toes in a lake. Thank you for all of your love, grandma. We miss you. - Elise & Alex

Judy was such a wonderful person I will never forget how she came to the hospital when my brother had surgery. Was so happy to have her and the family there. We will miss her lovely smile and perky personality. So sorry for your loss.

There are no words to describe how deeply I will feel the loss of my mom. She was my best friend, my biggest advocate, and my role model. She was kind and generous, and she taught me the importance of treating each person you meet as if they were the most important person in the room. Mom always looked on the bright side and she had a fantastic smile to cheer you up when you were struggling. Her family was the world to her. She knew every birthday and anniversary of the entire extended family. She loved being a wife, mother, and grandmother. I only hope I can live up to be the kind of woman she showed me how to be. Mom will always be loved and forever be missed.
