Judith Ann Cody, 78, of Arpin passed away peacefully Sunday, May 28th, 2023 at home, after a long-fought battle with cancer.

Judy was born on May 28th, 1945 to Laurence and June Bullard at Madison General Hospital, Madison. She graduated from Marshfield Senior High School in 1963. After high school, she worked as a nanny and a waitress until she took some secretarial and welding courses in Milwaukee. She was then employed at Prascheks Welding Co., Beatrice's, Arpin Dairy, and Figi’s while raising four children.

Judy was fortunate to have found Great Love twice in her life. She married Edward Schneider on April 15, 1967. They had four kids: Laurence, Amber, June, and Della. Edward sadly passed away in 2005. Then, Judy met Ronald Cody, and they got married on August 1st, 2009.

Judy was very artistic and enjoyed woodcarving, quilting, painting, crocheting, ceramics, leatherworking, and crafting in general. She also found enjoyment in hunting, gardening, swimming, canning, and playing games, especially Scrabble. Later in life, she loved the adventures of riding on the trike with Ron. One of the most memorable trips was going to the Sturgis Rally for their honeymoon.
