Judith A. “Judy” Bollinger, 77, of Manheim, passed away unexpectedly at home on Sunday, December 14, 2025. Born in Lancaster, she was the daughter of the late Paul E. and Mary Myers Stauffer Gochnauer. She was the loving wife of James H. “Jim” Bollinger and they observed their 36th wedding anniversary this month. Judy was a member of Florin Church of the Brethren, Mount Joy and attended Manheim Brethren in Christ Church.

Our Dear Judy, loving wife, mother and sister flew home on angel’s wings to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Her lifestyle of quiet grace, cheerful giving and steadfast love set a wonderful example for all of us. She loved the beach and enjoyed reading books on the deck at camp in Potter County. But most important to Judy was her devotion to her family, spending time with them and her faith in Jesus Christ. Because He Lives.

Surviving in addition to her husband, Jim, is a daughter, Kelsey A. Bollinger of Manheim and three brothers; David husband of Beth Stauffer of Lititz, John husband of Marlene Stauffer of Mount Joy and Richard husband of Brenda Stauffer of Elizabethtown. She was preceded in death by two brothers, Thomas and James Stauffer.

Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend Judy’s Funeral Service at Manheim Brethren in Christ Church, 54 North Penryn Road, Manheim on Saturday, December 20, 2025 at 11:00 AM. There will be a time of visitation from 10:00 AM until the time of the service. Interment in West Green Tree Cemetery, Elizabethtown. In lieu of flowers, those desiring may send contributions in Judy’s memory to Water Street Mission, 210 S. Prince Street, P.O. Box 7508, Lancaster, PA 17604.
