Judith C. “Judy” Young, age 94, of Green Bay, WI., and formerly of Black River Falls, WI, Hatfield, WI, and Menomonee Falls, WI, died Thursday, April 27, 2023, at New Perspectives in Green Bay, WI.

Judy was born in Eau Claire, WI on May 25, 1928, to Albert H. and Catherine (Pittard) Emanuel. She was raised in Augusta and graduated from Augusta High School. She received her nursing degree from Luther Hospital School of Nursing.

On August 17, 1952, she married William F. “Bill” Young, at St. John Methodist Church in Augusta in a double wedding with Judy’s brother, Dean Emanuel, and his bride, Lorraine.

Following their marriage, the couple lived in Dollar Bay, MI, for three years before moving to Menomonee Falls, WI.

Judy worked as a registered nurse in a multi-specialty clinic, formerly Medical Associates of Menomonee Falls.

Following retirement, Bill and Judy wintered in Stuart, FL, and spent their summers in Menomonee Falls, WI, and Hatfield, Wi. Judy was Bill’s greatest fan at Menomonee Falls North high school basketball games that Bill coached for many years. She also enjoyed golf, bowling and cross-country skiing. Judy learned the skill of sewing from her mother and taught her daughters how to sew as well. She was a skilled knitter making countless patterned sweaters, slippers, mittens and bunny vests for her grandchildren. Her handmade cinnamon rolls, fudge and bread were delicious.
