Judy Oliver

December 30, 1946 - March 6, 2020

Service: A memorial gathering will be held in her honor on Sunday, March 15th at Sioux Valley Grille in Canton from 5-7:30pm.

Judy (Gates) Oliver, at the spitfire age of 73, passed away on Friday, March 6th. A memorial gathering will be held in her honor on Sunday, March 15th at Sioux Valley Grille in Canton from 5-7:30pm.

       She leaves behind many memories of her artistic talents and love for providing meals to her family and friends. Judy was a generous soul. Always the first to lend a hand, the first with a quick-witted joke, and an answer to anything. Her gracious heart made her a strong woman and a dedicated sister, wife, mother, grandmother and friend.

       Survived by her children Katheryn (Harry), Joseph, Michael (Jessica), and Jenny (Stephen); grandchildren Marissa, William, Alex, Aubrey, and Jazmine; great-grandchild Octavia; siblings Peggy, Laurie (Brett), and James (Laurie); nieces Mary (Terry), MaDonna, Elizabeth, Julie (Nate), Lateefah (Ryan), and Natalie (Chris); and nephews Lucas (Brittany), Jess (Janet), and Austin (Amy).

       Awaiting for her arrival in heaven is her husband Merlyn, parents Francis & Frannie, and grandchildren she never held.

    Such a wonderful person. I so enjoyed working with Judy. You couldn’t find a more dedicated hard working person. She made the best donuts in the company. Judy will be missed by so many.

    We are so very sorry to hear of your loss. Lots of good memories of times when our kids were young and painting classes at Judy’s house. It was more about the fun and laughter than about any talent on my part! And she always won at Bingo! And many more! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
