Judy Ann (Jordan) Stringham, 71, of Southern Illinois, was called Home to be with her Lord and Savior on September 6, 2025.

She was born on December 22, 1953, in Herrin, Illinois, to Roy Jordan and Lola Nichols. Judy was preceded in death by her father, Roy; her mother, Lola; and her brothers, Earl and Randy Jordan.

Judy is survived by her daughter, Nicole (Mark) Williams of West Frankfort; her sons, Ryan Sieveking of Thompsonville and Shane (Laura) Sieveking of Benton; her brother, Tom (Sherry) Jordan of West Frankfort; step-mother, Carolyn Jordan; sister-in-law, Kay Jordan; as well as her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.

Her grandchildren include Mark Anthony (Bobbie) Williams, Alyssa (Jordan) McMillen, Lindsey (Trenton) Easley, Megan Williams, Parker Sieveking, Peyton Sieveking, Addison Sieveking, Kelcey (Christopher) Phillips, and Sydney Sieveking. She was also blessed with thirteen great-grandchildren, each one a gift she cherished deeply.

Judy's faith was the foundation of her life. A devoted member of Harmony Baptist Church, she lived with quiet strength, always trusting in God's plan and sharing His love through her kindness, patience, and compassion. She found joy in prayer, fellowship, and the everyday blessings of family. Her life was a living testimony of grace - steadfast in her devotion to the Lord and to those she loved most.

She delighted in family gatherings, especially when they brought all generations together. Whether through laughter around the table, long conversations, or simple moments of togetherness, Judy made sure her home was filled with love, faith, and warmth.

While her earthly journey has ended, Judy's spirit lives on through the love she poured into her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her family takes comfort in knowing she is now reunited in Heaven with her parents, brothers, and the loved ones who went before her.

Services will be held at 3:00p.m. on Wednesday, September 10, 2025 at Union Funeral Home in West Frankfort, Illinois. Burial will be in No. #8 Cemetery – Pittsburg, Illinois. Visitation will be held from 1:00-3:00p.m. prior to the service.
