Judith Lynn Wilson, age 77, of Lakeview, Michigan, passed away peacefully on July 22, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born on March 12, 1948, in Hancock, Michigan, Judy lived a life marked by quiet strength, deep love for her family, and a talent for creating beauty through her sewing. A gifted sewist, she found joy and purpose in crafting things with care and intention-an extension of the way she lived her life.

Judy is survived by her devoted daughter, Tammara Bruce; her beloved grandchildren, Morgan (Ryan) Craddock, Riley Bruce, and Randy Bruce; and her cherished great-granddaughter, Georgia Craddock. She also leaves behind her siblings: brother David (Debbie) Mackey, sister Jill Horsley, and sister Sue (Terry) Dowdell, along with many loving nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, David Wilson; her son, William Riley; her parents, Deloris and Wayne Mackey, and William and Nan Pascoe; and her sister, Carol Boerma.

Family meant everything to Judy. She especially treasured her time with her grandchildren and great-granddaughter, who brought her endless pride and joy. Her warmth, creativity, and kindness will be missed by all who knew her.

A private memorial will be held at a later date to celebrate Judy's life and legacy.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor Judy by spending time with those you love, sewing something beautiful, or simply sharing a kind word-just as she always did.
