Judith Kispert Donnellon, devoted wife of the late James C. Donnellon. Beloved mother to Jim (Nancy Schroer), Jackie (Bill) Welling, Julie (Jim) Lovell, JoAnne (Chuck) Folzenlogen, Janet (Marty) Lavelle, John (Michelle Liput), Jerry Donnellon, Joe Donnellon, Judy Hall, Jill Donnellon, Jenny (Eddie Camardo) Donnellon, Janie (Rob) Stineman and the late Mary Jude Donnellon. Survived by 33 loving grandchildren and an abundance of great grandchildren, currently 35 and growing. Preceded in death by her parents John D. and Margaret McNally Kispert, her 2 brothers Bill and John and sister, Peggy, and many of her loving Donnellon family. In addition to raising her surviving 12 children, Judy was beloved by her many nieces and nephews, as well as the friends of her children who often referred to her as "Mumsy".

Judy lived life to its fullest. Judy was active in community and church, perhaps her favorite event the St Saviour Festival. Judy travelled the world as vice president of My-Neil Imports and embraced adventure, even braving a ride in a stunting bi-plane! To use a sports analogy, when life threw Judy a curve, she caught the ball and made the necessary play. She offered strength and comfort to those in her life through even the most difficult of times, always putting others needs ahead of her own even through her last moments. Judy embraced her last year and half at Loveland Healthcare and made it her mission to bring joy and support to those around her. She loved the kind and caring support team and they loved her back. We're certain she left them with many special memories.

Judy departed on September 29th, 2024 at the age of 89. Visitation will be Friday, October 4th, from 5:00pm-7:00pm at Gilligan Funeral Home, 8225 Montgomery at Galbraith. Mass of Christian Burial will be Saturday, October 5th, 2024 at 10:00 AM at St. Saviour Church, 4118 Myrtle Avenue.
