   Judith Ann Gresser , of Big Lake, Minn.,  was born Oct. 24, 1955 in Grand Rapids MN to J.D. and Grace (Mather) Connell. She left this world surrounded by family on July 18, 2024.

   She grew up in Boy River and graduated from Northland High School, in Remer.

   She enjoyed many things including cooking for friends and family, cards, gardening, posting pictures of food, flowers and sunsets. Jude’s real love was her family, her husband of 42 years, Mike; daughter, Rayna (Mel): grandson, Dakota and his fiance Brielle. She is also survived by her brother, Bob Connell; sisters, Lynda Hoese, Karen Parrot, and Donna Otto (Phil); and her beloved uncles, aunt and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

   Jude’s family would like to extend our deepest thanks for the calls, cards and prayers. They really helped. We also want to thank Mrs. Dee Hillstrom for her kind words and serving as the officiant for Jude’s service.

   Jude was laid to rest at Riverside Cemetery in Longville, next to her father and grandfather.
