Publish in a newspaper
Judy was preceded in death by her father, Robert G. Kuehn.
She is survived by her husband, Kenneth Kosel; children, Jeff (Jodi) Kosel and Jennifer (Steve) Potvin; grandchildren, Joshua, Sam, Elise, Eva, Allison and Patrick; her mother, Erma Kuehn and her brother, Michael Kuehn.
Judy graduated the class of '65 from the Archbishop Murray High School. She retired from Carver School where she worked as an Aide. Judy was an avid reader, nature lover, trying new restaurants and watching her grandchildren in their many activities. She was a member of the Church of St. Peter.
Deep appreciation to the people who cared for Judy over the many years, including Dr. Puneet Cheema and Kristie Elghazi and the many nurses at St. John's Cancer Center.
Visitation will be held on Friday, June 27, 2025 at 11:00AM with Mass held at 12:00PM at the Church of St Peter in North Saint Paul. Burial will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers the family has suggested to make donations to either the University Of Minnesota Cancer Research or the M. Health Fairview St. Johns Cancer Center.

Judy was a wonder friend at Carver School. She was my break buddy. She loved her grandkids!! You all have my deepest sympathy.

I am so very sorry for the loss of Judy, your wife, your mother, your grandmother, your daughter and your sister. Judy sat behind me in homeroom at Archbishop Murray for four years. I dated Rick Coleman, a hockey teammate of Ken's at Hill. So for a couple of those years we talked about our hockey player boyfriends. I recently had the opportunity to contact Judy about our upcoming reunion. We had a wonderful chat and I was able to catch up on Judy's life. She was a brave, courageous woman! My thoughts and prayers are offered for all of you!

Dear Ken and Family,
You all have so much to be proud of. Judy was such a beautiful woman inside and out, and she was so proud of all of you. I NEVER saw her when she wasn´t sharing "updates" on each and every one of her grandchildren. I loved her, and I will miss her.

Ken and family I am so sorry for your loss. Ken and I played on the same hockey team at Hill High School in 1963. Ken was our captain and was a great leader. Beautiful skater and always had a positive attitude to motivate the team.
I also lost my wife in April of this year to cancer. We were married 54 years. It is very difficult to lose your love one but with a great family and friends that Ken has will be a tremendous help to all of your friends and family.
Stay strong and remember the good times.
