Judith was born January 31, 1947 to Leonard J. and Lillian M. (Schroepfer) Laessig. Always the high-achieving student, she attended St. Joseph elementary school and graduated from Stratford High School in 1965. She was united in marriage to James Pankratz on October 11, 1969. They later divorced yet remained friends.

Judy was always a dedicated and loving mother.

She worked as a loan processor at Associate Bank until retirement to focus on her health.

Judy was a member of St. John's Catholic church and walked with the Lord since her childhood. She was a cat lover and huge fan of the Bucks and Brewers. Her quick wit and sense of humor could often bring a smile.

Judy will be dearly missed by her sons David (Robin Scott) Pankratz of Marshfield and Kevin Pankratz of Wausau. She is also survived by a special cousin Sally (Weber) Barrows, California.

She was preceded in death by parents and her special aunt Agnes Weber.

The family wishes to send a special thank you to Wells Nature View and St. Croix Hospice for their loving care these last couple of years.
