Judith Kay Stoner was born June 30, 1944, in Anamosa, Iowa, the daughter of Jack and Lois (Rohwedder) Stoner. In 1948, her family moved to Iowa City, where she attended Iowa City Schools, graduating from City High School in 1963. She later received her certificate of completion from a business college program.
Judy belonged to the local chapter of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority. For many years, Judy worked in the food service department at Mercy Iowa City.
Judy had many passions in life: her Gloria Dei Church family was one of her dearest and best parts of her life as she was loved and cared for by so many as she loved and cared for them. She enjoyed going on the mystery tours sponsored by area travel agencies, was an avid reader of books, liked watching movies, especially the old classics, decorated for every holiday of the year, and she was known to enjoy her shopping! She purchased, collected, stored and shared many hats, purses, clothing items, angels, dolls, teapots and cat statues. Judy was known to many as the Krazy Kat Lady, a title she seemed to enjoy!
Her family includes uncles, cousins and her church family of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
Gay & Ciha Funeral and Cremation Service is caring for Judy's family and her services.
