Judith (Judy) Jennett passed on September 10, 2021, surrounded by her family after a courageous battle with cancer. Judy was born on the 20th of July 1941 to Lorne H. Sipperley and Callie F. Cash in Detroit, Michigan. She grew up in Rapid City and attended Traverse City Senior High, where she met her high school sweetheart and the love of her life, Dick Jennett. They both graduated in 1959 and married in 1960. They celebrated a wonderful 57 years of marriage. The family lived primarily in Grawn, Lake Ann, and settled in Kalkaska. Judy was preceded in death by her parents, Lorne and Callie Sipperley, her infant son, Jeffery Jennett, and husband Dick Jennett. She is survived by her five daughters, Cynthia Shipp (Harry) of Kalkaska, Rebecca Dunscombe (Ian) of Traverse City, Christina Bauer (David) of Buckley, WA, Susan Mihatsch (Karl) of Traverse City, and Julie Koppleberger (Randy) of Alma. She is also survived by 12 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and many beloved friends. Judy loved gardening and tending to her flowers. She had the greenest of thumbs on the planet Earth, as evidenced by her gorgeous gardens and flowers. She was also an amazing cook and baker. She could make anything from her heart’s desire, and it would taste so delicious. Everything she made was filled with love. Judy created beautiful works of art, from clothing to quilts and afghans, to bird houses and pottery. She had such artistic talent. Judy was a caring and generous, kind, and talented woman of whom her family is very proud. She will always be cherished in our hearts. In lieu of flowers, charitable donations can be made in Judy’s honor to the Kalkaska Commission on Aging (COA), PO Box 28, Kalkaska, MI 49646. To respect her wishes, no service is planned at this time. Cremation arrangements provided by Wolfe-O'Neill Funeral Home, our family serving yours.
