Judy Ann Herstad

Judy Ann Herstad, 63, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 15, 2025. She was born on December 1,1961 to Betty Butler and the late Clifford Herstad in Janesville, Wisconsin. Judy lived a life marked by resilience and independence.

Though our relationship was complex, we are grateful for the role she played in shaping our lives. Her unique perspective and life experiences were a testament to her individuality and strength.

Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she cherished every moment spent with them. Whether sharing stories, offering guidance, or simply enjoying their laughter, she found profound happiness in their company.

Judy is survived by her children, Amber Foley (Rod Rueger), Autumn Clermont (Lee Clermont) and grandchildren Aidin Decker, Bastion Decker, Olivia Clermont and Eleanor Clermont. While life took us on different paths, we honor her journey and the legacy she leaves behind.

A memorial service will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, January 25, 2025, at Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church at 503 Schmidt Ave, Rothschild, WI. Visitation will be from 1:00 PM until the time of service at the church.

May she find peace, and may her memory be a reminder of the value of every life, with all its complexities and beauty.
