Judith Kerner Obituary

Judith Ann Kerner beloved mother and granny peacefully passed away on Tuesday January 29, 2019, at the age of 77. She is preceded in death by her loving husband Charles Kerner, Parents Herndon and Corinne Wederstrandt Sr.and her brother Roger Wederstrandt. Judy is survived by her son Charles Kerner Jr. daughter Jodi (Eric) and grandchildren: Russell, Zachary, Charlie and William Tannehill. Judy was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Her love was unconditional. Her true passions were spoiling her grandchildren, attending Saturday Mass with her dear friend Julie followed by a trip to the casino. Sunday was her day to watch football and cheer for the Saints. Judy retired from State Farm Insurance just last year after serving the company for over 20 years. She enjoyed work and was a loyal and dedicated employee. The family would like to thank everyone at the Tulane Cancer Clinic and all of our friends on the 6th floor, along with friends and family who have loved and supported us through this difficult time. A Memorial Service will be held on Friday February 8 at St. Matthew the Apostle (MBC Center) 10021 Jefferson Hwy. River Ridge. Visitation is from 10:30-11:30 and Mass following. In lieu of flowers please donate to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital [email protected].

Jodi and Charles, I was very saddened to read of your mother's recent illness and passing. Judy was such a loving and loyal friend and neighbor to my mother, Helen Nolan, for many years, and I always enjoyed seeing her when visiting Inez Drive, especially during daiquiri hour. We shared so many stories and laughs. My deepest condolences.

I realized something listening to you speak at the funeral today, Jodi. Your dad's death and my dad's accident were the same year. So all those sleepovers your mom had four kids struggling with missing dad, you and CJ grieving yours, and Mike and I unable to visit for the months ours was in the hospital. Your wonderfully selfless mother just put her grief second and loved all four of us as hard as she good. Looking back from today's vantage point, I still don't know how she did it, but it is exactly the type of person she was. Love you, Ms Judy, thanks for being another parent, I will never forget you.

It is our HONOR to have known Judy these past 20 years, first as a State Farm customer and soon thereafter as a SPECIAL lady whom we considered our friend. Our thoughts and prayers are extended to the family.

Judy was one of the most selfless person I have ever met. She loved her family more than life itself. She dedicated her life to her children, Jodi and CJ after losing her husband at a young age. She never regretted not doing things for herself. She was a very special friend, second mom and sister to me. I love you and will miss you dearly!
