Judith R. Wilson of Eau Claire, former longtime resident of Clintonville, WI, age 88 passed away May 11, 2024
in Eau Claire with her family by her side.
Judie was born on March 9, 1936 in Menominee, MI to parents Daniel and Dorothy Fast. She graduated from Marinette High School in 1954 and received her teaching degree from the National College of Education 1958.
She married her college sweetheart Roger Wilson in 1957 and they had three children. Together they created an Optometric office in Clintonville, WI, where she worked as an Optometric assistant and vision therapist.
Judie was such a tender, loving mother and grandmother. Her love was always unconditional and it was felt immensely by all. She had a special love for her grandchildren and especially adored her great grandchildren.
She was as selfless as they came and always had empathy for those around her.
Anyone that knew her could see what strength she had. She endured some tough challenges during her life but always handled them with grace. She was such a great listener and made anyone she talked to feel important and valued.
She loved life on the lake, surrounded by family and friends and never turned down a nice evening pontoon ride to enjoy the sunset.
Judie is survived by her daughter Sandi Guite (Dave), son Daniel Wilson (Stacie), sisters Sue Molin (William), and Lynda Thompson (Rodney) and sister-in-law Janet Herbert. Grandchildren Jenni Olson (Steve), Scott Guite, Jake Wilson, Joshua Wilson (Kevin), Alissa Leppert (Nate), Michael Guite (Lauren), Haili Swift (Josiah) and Dani Wilson and 10 great grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Roger, son Gregory Wilson, granddaughter Lauren Wilson, parents and brother-in-law, Earl Herbert.
A private celebration of life will be held in Waupaca, WI at a later date.
Condolences to the family can be sent to Stokes, Prock & Mundt Funeral Chapel.
