Susan Marie (Judge) Henckel was born October 25, 1952 in Davenport, Iowa. She was the daughter of Ralph and Corinne (Jansen) Judge. Susan died September 20, 2021, at home in Los Lunas, New Mexico, surrounded by family and friends.
Susan was a creative spirit who lived life on her own terms. She worked hard for the things that mattered and regularly dipped her toes in the sands to relax. Susan's dogs were her children. She looked death in the eye over 10 years ago, confirming she was not done yet. Susan loved as she chose and feared little. She did life her way.
Susan is survived by her five siblings: Jeanne Holub, James (Mikki) Judge, Carol (James) Meyer, Mary (John) Steinle and Robert Judge. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
Susan was preceded in death by her parents and sister-in-law Margaret ( Tyler) Judge.
