Judith Ann Quenneville

Judith Ann Quenneville was born in Detroit, Michigan on March 11, 1961 to Roger Romeo and Eileen Geraldine (Oliver) Quenneville. Judy was the fourth of five children with three older brothers and a younger sister. She had an idyllic childhood with strong family ties and many neighborhood friends. She was a great, natural beauty. She was tall and lean, and had a calm, deliberate, confident walk you could recognize as her from a block away. As a young adult, Judy was a hard and diligent worker, excelling in her career as a law office secretary, and later in retail management. She gained a reputation as a trustworthy employee who would go above and beyond her job description, and as a smart and funny problem solver. She could always find a way to make any environment more efficient, more beautiful, and happier. Judy was a Michigan girl, through and through. She loved being outside in nature and took full advantage of everything each season had to offer. Boating, fishing, gardening, camping, hiking, hunting, ice fishing. She loved everything outside, no matter what time of year. She loved to travel to the tropics where she would snorkel, scuba dive, and sip tequila drinks by the palm trees. Judy was a wonderful cook and a welcoming hostess. She loved entertaining and all of the prep work that went along with it. The last 15 years of Judy’s life were riddled with many hard challenges and health crises. There were six major, life altering surgeries and long recoveries. Things that most would not have the fortitude to withstand, had Judy rising again and again. Heartaches. Losses. And finally, cancer. However, not one time did she lose her 1000 watts smile. That smile. Those eyes. When she aimed them, strangers became instant friends. It was a beautiful gift she shared easily. And everywhere. From bank tellers to cashiers to medical staff, all are sharing stories of how special a soul Judy was, and how the atmosphere brightened around her. Judy is survived by brothers Frank Quenneville and his children Shannon, Renee, and Sean, Michael Quenneville (Donna) and their children Lindsay, Karen, and Katelyn. Judy’s brother Patrick Quenneville, and her sister Joanne (Quenneville) Roach (Jimmie) and their daughter Angelina, along with great-nieces and nephews.
