Donnie and Pelowski Family- I didn't know your mom but I went to St. Francis with Donnie and the Pelowski kids. She must have been a great mom because she had such nice kids. I remember Donnie trading Holy cards with me. Prayers and blessings to you all. With sympathy, Jeanne (Trusty) Vehrenkamp 

Aunt Judy was a very special person. I have so many fond memories of her and the family. My heart is sad to learn about your loss, and yet I know she is enjoying her life in heaven along with my mom and our other aunts and uncles and grandparents. I have always admired Aunt Judy and wanted to be just like her. As a child I remember her climbing the long swing set poles and doing physical things that many young children can't do today. I remember her standing at the counter making all the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunches. I believe she would lay out the entire loaf of bread and maybe more as she began to assemble the lunches. She was very special to my mom. When my mom was in a coma at St. Mary's Hospital prior to her death she stood next to her bed for days until she took her last breath. There was a quiet strength about her that spread wherever she was. After mom died she came to our house in Chatfield once a week to cook and clean the house. It amazes me how she always made time to help others. I wish I could be with you all today. This is the down side of living so far away in Florida. I will always cherish the memories! Love to all of you! You have a very special family. 

Our deepest sympathy,

Dean and Bonnie (Danielson) Storgaard 

Pelowski Family,

Condolences.

Judy has been gifted with a Eucharistic Heart.

I remember her love in spending time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Truly, the Lord is pleased with her loving gaze. She served at the Eucharistic table, in the Banquet of the Lord, with her whole heart. What an exchange of hearts! The Sacred Heart of Jesus, indeed, she claims as her own! Even from afar, her interior dedication is unmistakable. Now, surely, her love won't go unrepaid by the Good Lord.

I'll never forget her simple yet sweet smile as she opens the door for me when I pop in for Adoration at night. It's rare to see beautiful souls such as hers. We might just have gained a great intercessor in heaven.

May the Consoler descend upon your family. Amen.

My Dear Beautiful Mrs Pelowski,

I am quite sure you are our Saviors number 1 Angel. Your life and your gifts were treasured my so many. I cherished your letters with updates on all your beautiful children. Fly high.

To all the Pelowski children,

You are missing your matriarch, the gracious woman that gave you life. Keep looking up.

Blessings

Marla

Dear Dave and Cindy,

We are so saddened to hear about Judy’s passing. Judy was a gem and an inspiration to us and so many.  We have many fond memories of Judy, always with a smile, at Resurrection.  She was so kind and gentle.  When I, Sandy, was the church secretary sometimes I brought my two young children with me.  Judy, always had a little job for them to do.  They loved her and never hesitated to want to help her do whatever chore she had for them.  I so enjoyed working with her. 

Unfortunately, we are out-of-town at our grandsons college graduation and will be unable to attend her funeral.  We would love to see you both.  Where have all the years gone since you were married and came to see us in Oak Park. Oh my……so many good memories of those meetings with you both.

Judy is enjoying her eternal reward in the arms of Jesus; we will miss seeing her smiling face.   Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.  

Peace be with you. 

Ken and Sandy Wagner

We are very sorry to hear of Judy’s passing. She was always a friendly, familiar face at Church of the Resurrection. She will be greatly missed.  Prayers for her and the family.  

Judy and I had many talks and shared many laughs over the 17 years I worked at Church of the Resurrection, and after that as well.  She was a dear friend, that always had time for others.  She had a wealth of wisdom and knowledge that she shared with me, and I am so grateful for that.  She lives on in treasured memories!  My sympathy to all of her family missing her physical presence.

Dave & Cindy

We are so saddened with the passing of your Mom. She was wonderful.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.  Call us if you need anything. Love you both.❤️

Thank you for sharing your stories about Judy over the years, she is a role model and inspiration.  Thinking of you all as you support each other through this difficult time…sending comfort and hugs☀️

I had the pleasure of working with Judy for 24 years.  She was a very faith filled person and was the woman behind the scenes that always knew what needed to be done. Yes, she volunteered as a Lector and Eucharistic Minister for years. I was told by Marge Reiland that when Father Winkels was pastor and there was no mass on Mondays, Judy would read the scriptures and do a communion service.  She had a listening heart and was never too busy not to talk/listen to so many people.  She was an amazing care giver for her husband, Ray.  One day she said, he wants "suicide food."as the care center was never noted for good food.  May her body be at peace as she rejoices and is welcomed by Jesus and her loved ones who have gone before her.  A life well lived as a daughter, sibling,Wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. A blessing to us who worked with her, whom we called, dear friend.

I grew up next door to Judy and the whole Pelowski clan and have so many memories of just sitting and chatting with her in her kitchen, on the steps outside and in the backyard.  As an adult I now wonder how she had time for that (?) - and I understand that she somehow knew I needed it and made time.  I will miss her and her special Christmas notes each year. She was a very special lady and I have no doubt she is dancing on streets of gold in heaven. (and probably looking for some work to do).   

Prayers for the whole family.

Terri

Judy and I grew up together in Chatfield.  We reunited as charter members of the Church of the Resurrection.  Judy was a pillar of Resurrection.  May you rest in peace Judy.  Condolences to Judy’s family.

My sympathy to you Dave and all the members of your family.  God Bless.
