Judith Skroch Obituary
May 4, 1944 - January 10, 2025
SUN PRAIRIE/MELROSE - Our precious mother, Judith Ann "Judy" Skroch, age 80, peacefully ascended to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in Heaven, after a 12-year crushing battle with Alzheimer's, on Friday, January 10, 2025, at Agrace Hospice in Fitchburg. She was born on May 4, 1944, in Phelps, Wis., the daughter of Art and Ruby (Harris) Heinig.
Judy at 28 yrs. old raised six children by herself, all under the age of eight. Judy's strength and resilience, instilled love, structure, courage, and strength in her children and dedicated them all to the Lord. Judy endured many sacrifices willingly to raise her children and gave of herself to all, never expecting anything in return.
Judy was united in marriage to Emil "Sonny" Skroch on April 29, 1989, and gained two beloved stepchildren. Together they ran an organic dairy farm and harvested the best corn I have ever tasted. Previously, Judy worked third shift at Central Wisconsin center in Madison.
Judy and Sonny prided themselves in living a healthy lifestyle, enjoying running and dancing. They ran many 5K and 10K races with multitudes of metals, ribbons and trophies. Judy was a Boy Scout leader and volunteered for Church Missionary trips in Mexico. She also loved to garden, bake bread, and Special Cakes for each of her children's Birthdays.
Judy is survived by her children, Tim (Mary) Moore, Jon (Jen Recoy Moore) Moore, Jeff Moore, Tamela (Jim) Foye, Trisha (Rick) Bultman and Tara (Otley) Freymiller; stepchildren, Kevin (Dennis Geise) Skroch and Raquel "Rocky" Skroch; grandchildren, Evan, Jessica, Lauren, Joseph, Bella, Katie, Austin, Ryan (Michelle) Foye, Cassie, Nicholas (Emily Wink) Bultman, Peyton, Bronwyn, Daniel, David, Victoria, and Jessica; great-grandchildren, Abriella, James, Bently, Braiden, and Elyza; sister, Jeannie Harris; and brother, Bill Heinig.
She was preceded in death by her Eternal Love, Sonny; her parents; and sister, Pat Osborne Baker.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date in North Bend Wis. Judy will be interred next to her husband, Sonny at Bethel Cemetery, Independence Wis.
An immeasurable thank you to Agrace Hospice for their gift of love and compassion, through this difficult passing of our matriarch. Memorials may be made to Agrace Hospice, Fitchburg.
