Ellis
Aug 4, 1942 — Dec 18, 2022
Judith "Judy" A. Ellis (Huminski) joined her husband, John D. and son Michael John in heaven on December 18, 2022. Judy is survived by her daughter Liz VanDiepenbos (Mike); daughter-in-law Dawn Ellis; grandchildren Eric (Sandhya), Sarah, Megan and Amy; sister Patty Miller (Chip); and Sister-in-law Linda DeCorte (Joe). She was preceded in death by John earlier this year, son Mike and parents, Dr. Thaddeus and Mary Ellen Huminski as well as her brother, Mike Huminski and his wife, Mimi. Judy was born in Grosse Pointe, MI and graduated from Academy of the Sacred Heart. She attended Loretto Heights College (now Regis University) in Colorado where she met John and graduated with a Liberal Arts Degree in English Literature. After graduation she was a 4th grade teacher in Fort Wayne, IN and later became a stay-at-home mom. Judy loved to work, was an avid reader, and had an endless curiosity for medicine. When the family moved to Pittsburgh, she became a Medical Assistant for Dobler and Potter physicians and then an Accounting Assistant at Pittsburgh Pacific Processing Company. Judy and John moved to Titusville, PA and she became the Head Librarian at the Sarah Stewart Bovard Memorial Library in Tionesta. After their second grandchild was born Judy and John moved to Zeeland, MI to be closer to their growing family. Judy served as the medical librarian at Zeeland Community Hospital (Spectrum) and volunteered there before retiring in 2016. John and Judy resided in Fort Myers, FL for a short time before returning to Michigan in 2020. Judy spent her final years at The Brook of Cedar Springs where she passed peacefully after a brief illness. Judy will be remembered with a Celebration of Life Memorial Mass at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in Holland, MI at a date to be determined. If one wishes a memorial contribution may be made to the Sarah Stewart Bovard Memorial Library (156 Elm St., Tionesta, PA 16353).
