Judy M. Ottman, 66, of Elkhart, Indiana passed away at Elkhart General Hospital on May 23, 2025. Judy was born on September 23, 1958, in Goshen, Indiana to the late Ed Arnold and Viola Hook. On June 10, 1974, Judy married her loving husband of 50 years, Eddie Ottman.
Judy was very devoted to spending time with her family. The family that her and Eddie built was her pride and joy. Her grandkids were her life and so were her children. She enjoyed playing her online Monopoly Go with her out-of-town family and always enjoyed testing her luck at the casino. Judy also enjoyed working in the yard, and most especially, tending to her roses.
Judy is survived by her husband, Eddie; daughters, Teresa (Henry) Norment and Nicole (Joe) Campbell; 8 grandchildren; 9 great-grandchildren; a brother, Jimmy Arnold and many nieces and nephews. Judy was preceded in death by her daughter Alvery Ottman; son, Jason Andresen; granddaughter, Katelyn Norment; brother, Danny Arnold and sister, Betty Andresen. Judy will be dearly missed by all those that knew and loved her.
