Born: March 6, 1936
Died: February 18, 2026
Judith "Judy" A. Meyer, 89, of Danforth and formerly of Chebanse passed away on Wednesday, February 18, 2026 at Prairieview Lutheran Home in Danforth.
Judy was born on March 6, 1936 in Ashkum, the daughter of Donald and Albertha (Patnaude) Tascher. She married Vernon Meyer on September 26, 1959 in Ashkum, and he survives.

She was preceded in death by her parents; one brother, Duane; one sister, Janice; and one grandson, Mason Knorr.
Judy was a 60-plus-year member of the No Fuss No Muss Club. She loved being a farmwife and cooking. Judy was very artistic and found joy in oil painting, China painting, and quilting. Judy loved the sunshine, where she spent many winters in Arizona. She had fond memories of traveling to Germany and really enjoyed Oktoberfest. Judy loved to spend time outdoors and enjoyed playing cards with her friends. Most of all, she cherished time spent with her family and especially her grandchildren.
Visitation was on Friday, February 20, 2026 at the Knapp-Redenius Funeral Home in Gilman from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. with a 3:30 p.m. prayer service.
