Judith Groll Obituary

Watertown, WI - Judith A. "Judy" Groll, 84 of Watertown, passed away peacefully on December 14, 2025, at her home surrounded by family.

Judy was born on March 11, 1941, in Muskego, the daughter of Fred and Evelyn (Schaffer) DeMars. Judy enjoyed watching murder mysteries, especially Murder She Wrote, Law and Order: SVU, Matlock, and any true crime documentaries that she could find. When she wasn't watching crime shows, one of her other favorite series was Star Wars. Above all else, Judy's life was filled with love for her children and family. She was 'Mom' to many generations and took every opportunity to help others. Judy loved spending time with her children and grandchildren and had a sense of humor that made everyone smile. She will be deeply missed by those that she leaves behind.

Judy is survived by: children Michael (Kristina) Groll Sr., Christopher Groll, Paul Groll, Mark (Becki) Groll, Eric Groll, and Danny Groll; grandchildren Logan, Cole, Michael Jr., Erika, Nikki, Kim, Kelly, Tommy, Parker, Jackson, Kaleb, Kansas, Cheyenne, Kennady, Tattum, Adeline, Marshall, Lily, Matthew, and Thereasa; 15 great-grandchildren; and twin sister Jan Fisher and sister Nadine Szymczak. Judy is also survived by a number of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

Judy is preceded in death by her parents, and daughter Denise.

The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to Rainbow Hospice for the loving care provided to Judy.

A Celebration of life will be held at a later date.
